The difference is that you are not doing inplace editing.

UPDATE

I now tried your examples. And partly I have different results:

Same result like you.

$ perl -e" binmode STDOUT; $|=1; print qq[\x0d\x0a]; " | od -tx1
0000000 0d 0a
0000002

Different result.

$ perl -e" binmode STDOUT; $|=1; print qq[\x0d\x0a]; " | perl -e" use 
+open qw/ IN :crlf OUT :raw /; print join q/ /, unpack q/H*/, scalar<>
+; "
0d0a
