You didn't mention how you've been moving the files from your Mac to 
UNIX.  If you use a decent FTP program, it will take care of this for 
you.  I use Interarchy (formerly Anarchie) and I don't usually have 
to worry about converting between UNIX/Mac in my text editor.      I 
do all of my Perl programming (and C!) on my Mac and then FTP it to 
my UNIX machines with no problems.
