SPUG: Docs on "-l" wrong?

[Cantrall, Christopher W]

I would think that the documentation of the -l switch would start with "Automagically takes care of line endings, so you don't have to think about chomp or \n - high DWIMage factor." and then continue with a detailed explanation.  

Well, I don't know if the pumpking would approve of "DWIMage".
