in thread Why doesn't this work?

Ah, sorry - I don't know what I did wrong while testing this. The documentation is correct and neither the limit nor the forced list context are needed:

> perl -e "{$/=undef, $_=<>} my $count=split /\n/; print $count" \boot +.ini

works just as well, and just as documented.
