Why the "s" modifier does not do anything?

Flavio
perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf

        s   Treat string as single line. That is, change "." to match any
        character whatsoever, even a newline, which normally it would not
        match.

    There are no .'s in the regex.

      ... which makes me learn that [^>] does match a newline :)

      Thanks for bothering, chester!
