  • Standard nl is not required to support multiple input files [1]
  • Follow BSD versions of nl and support only one input file, which may be '-' for stdin
  • Also checked SunOS manual page, and it is consistent with BSD [2]
  • Update usage string and description in POD
  • While here, add explicit close() call in do_file() so we can exit with failure code if close() fails
  • Delete comment at top of file which duplicates what is written in POD
  • Bump version
