'-l' has a dual nature - on input it behaves like chomp(), automatically removing newline characters, while on output, as we've seen, it becomes the anti-chomp, adding newlines.This needs more explication. -l's effect on input and output are not as parallel as this would imply. -l's effect on input only applies to the LINE loop generated by -n or -p (by adding a chomp at the beginning).
