Description-en: module for efficiently counting the number of lines in a file
perlfaq5 answers the question on how to count the number of lines in a file.
File::CountLines is a convenient wrapper around that method, with additional
options.
.
More specifically, it counts the number of line breaks rather than lines. On
Unix systems nearlly all text files end with a newline (by convention), so
usually the number of lines and number of line breaks is equal.
