You don't really need Perl nor sed for that. There's this little gem,
hidden in the sources of the Python interpreter:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/Tools/scripts/crlf.py?view=markup

I think that the Demo and the Tools directories should be included in all
binary distributions of the Python interpreter.
