Formatting ASCII to be read by Windows NotePad

I have a nice PERL script I use to generate CISCO configurations, but
when I FTP the files to my Windows XP PC and try to read them in
Notepad, there is clearly no line wrap that Notepad understands. If I
otherwise read the file into WordPad first, save the file, then open
into Notepad, the formatting presents correctly.

I have generated the ASCII files using a simple 'print' command to a
file I generate using an 'open' command. I have tried both the newline
\n and the carriage return \r format characters.

Before I begin experiment with other characters, does anyone have a
solution for me gained from similar experience?

Thanks!
