[H-GEN] couple of small perl questions

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I have a text file that I'm reading in, it is created by a windows
program so it has CR-LF terminated lines.  The chomp and chop
functions don't seem to work to get rid of them... do I have to
resort to specifically removing them from the end of each line with
a regexp deletion of the \015\012 characters?  (In other words, I'd
like a perl snippit that basically does an on-the-fly dos2unix
conversion).

Also, I'd like to get the called name of the actual script from
within the program... unlike shell scripts (using $0 to refer to its
called name), ARGV[0] refers to the first command line arguement.
The script I'm writing will be "multi-functional" in that it will be
hard-linked with several different names, and I want it to act
differently depending on its called name.  And can the same thing be
done with modules, is it possible for an external module (or even a
perl function) to identify its own called name?

Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers
Tony
