Matching a \n or a \r Can't Post
I made up this regex...

Code
$value =~ s/(\n|\r)/ 
/g;
To look for a newline or a return (for compatibility), but when I see the return of something thrown through the filter, even if it's just a single line break, it comes out as two. Any ideas?

Window's systems use line feed AND carriage return to end a line, (IE \r\n) so since you are matching globally, when you come across this, you are replacing both of them.

Windows new-lines are different like he said. A better solution might be:
$value =~ s/\r?\n/< br>\n/g;
Except for the space in the br tag. ;-)
