'$' anchor matching '\n' character.

I don't believe '$' should be matching the '\n' character at the end of the 
string.  Shouldn't the anchor be matching the logical end of the string?

I used the following code in a JUnit test and the test passed:

String testString = "blahblah\n";
String testRegex = "/^(blah){2}$/";
Perl5Util perl = new Perl5Util();

assertTrue(perl.match(testRegex, testString));
