This is not in itself a problem but the problem comes with older
versions of Module::Signature. These were a bit too sloppy with ^Ms in
textfiles. Module::Signature 0.68 is a bit more consistent and would
treat this file as a binary file on signing. See RT #46339 for the whole
story. Bottom line: in order to be able to verify the signature with
Module::Signature 0.68 it would need a re-release with either only one
sort of line endings or signed with 0.68.
