:nl-in is a named parameter that defines what the method lines would consider as line endings. It defines "\x0A", "\r\n" as the default.
Example: % echo "Hi, Frank." > test.txt ; echo "What's up?" >> test.txt ; echo '"test.txt".IO.lines(:nl-in<a>).say' > test.pl6 ; perl6 ./test.pl6 (Hi, Fr nk. Wh t's up? ) |c slurps the remaining arguments into c and passese those arguments to the lines method of IO::Handle.
