I believe someone brought this up before.  If you check the archives you'll
probably find a better explanation.  But what it comes down to is that in
Perl (I'm assuming you're using Perl5Matcher or Perl5Util), $ only matches
a zero-width 'null string' right before '\n'  That's how it's defined
regardless of the eol convention for a platform.
