Thanks RudiC, I have gone through the man page for nl
and able to understand the command now.
Code:
-v Number
Sets the initial logical-page line number to the value specified by the Number variable. The default value of the Number variable is 1. The range of the
Number variable is from 0 to 32767.
-i Number
Increments logical-page line numbers by the number specified in the Number variable. The default value of the Number variable is 1. The range of the
Number variable is from 1 to 250.
-n Format
Uses the value of the Format variable as the line numbering format. Recognized formats are:
ln
Left-justified, leading zeros suppressed

number::compare
Number::Compare(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Number::Compare(3)NAME
Number::Compare - numeric comparisons
SYNOPSIS
Number::Compare->new(">1Ki")->test(1025); # is 1025 > 1024
my $c = Number::Compare->new(">1M");
$c->(1_200_000); # slightly terser invocation
DESCRIPTION
Number::Compare compiles a simple comparison to an anonymous subroutine, which you can call with a value to be tested again.
Now this would be very pointless, if Number::Compare didn't understand magnitudes.
The target value may use magnitudes of kilobytes ("k", "ki"), megabytes ("m", "mi"), or gigabytes ("g", "gi"). Those suffixed with an "i"
use the appropriate 2**n version in accordance with the IEC standard: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
METHODS
->new( $test )
Returns a new object that compares the specified test.
->test( $value )
A longhanded version of $compare->( $value ). Predates blessed subroutine reference implementation.
->parse_to_perl( $test )
Returns a perl code fragment equivalent to the test.
