[Bioperl-l] Bio::Root::IO::_readline

[Hilmar Lapp]

Some regexs test explicitly for newline. I remember that DOS/Win 
CRLF screwed up some code ... I don't know exactly which one though.

What about adding an optional parameter that if evaluates to true 
prevents newline from being stripped? This would avoid another 
method, fast, and be backward compatible.
