According to perlre, under "Regular Expressions",

That means it can match the end of the string or a newline at the end of
the string.
Hello Shawn,
You are not reading exact enough. The $ can not match "a newline at the
end of the string". It matches a (relative) position, not a character.
This is also called "zero-width".
Further appreciate the word "line" (in stead of "buffer" or "string") in
its definition, and check the m-modifier.
