Handling ^M's in text files

I'm sure this is a silly question, but sometimes when one FTPs files bewteen a DOS and UNIX environment, the "end of line" markers show up as "^M" in the file. Is there a utl_file package one can use to scrub these from a file? I sppse one could rewrite the file sans the last character, but one would then have to test for "^M" to keep from dropping characters without the markers in it...
