I cannot understand how this would happen with the above code!

Its probably because you skip the empty lines

Count the empty lines, add the number to the new linecounts, compare to original linecounts

#!/usr/bin/perl --
#~ perltidy  -csc -otr -opr -ce -nibc -i=4

    local $^I;

    my $pre = shift @_;
    local @ARGV = @_;

    for (@ARGV) {
        s/^(\s+)/.\/$1/;    # leading whitespace preserved
        s/^/< /;            # force open for input
        $_ .= qq/\0/;       # trailing whitespace preserved & pipes fo

    }

    my $linenum = 0;
    my $filenum = 0;
    my $skipped = 0;

    open FILEOUT, '>', $pre . "-" . $filenum;
