             Make autodoc.pl write its output with UNIX style EOL's.
             
             This saves the Win32 committer(s?) having to dos2unix the files
             before committing.  Maybe Perforce's "LineEnd: share" suffices
             anyway, but there's no harm in playing safe.

             to not  fail immediately if it can't -- it now frees up that part of

             Cleanup the main regex in Text::ParseWords and make the

             Failing matches don't reset numbered variables.
             Change #22997 could cause Text::ParseWords to loop forever if the
             regex didn't not match. Explicitly return if the match fails.
