You've disregarded that the file could have mixed EOLs
from Mac and Unix, only. There for a \r is a new
line, and \n is a new line, and therefore had 5
newlines. You've assumed to interpret \r\n as a
single new line as in DOS.
My point is that the number of new lines in a mixed
EOL format is open to interpretation. Plain and
simple.

man perlpod. You'll be enlightened about how the
number of blank line can make a difference.
