title: Excel saves tab delimited files without newline (UNIX/Mac os X)
body: <p>This is a common issue I have and my solution is a bit brash. So I'm looking for a quick fix and explanation of the problem.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that when I decide to save a spreadsheet in excel (mac 2011) as a tab delimited file it seems to do it perfectly fine. Until I try to parse the file line by line using Perl. For some reason it slurps the whole document in one line. </p>
  
  <p>My brutish solution is to open the file in a web browser and copy and paste the information into the tab delimited file in TextEdit (I never use rich text format). I tried introducing a newline in the end of the file before doing this fix and it does not resolve the issue.</p>
  
  <p>What's going on here? An explanation would be appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>~Thanks!~ </p>
