Just like print
, but implicitly appends a newline. say LIST
is simply an abbreviation for { local $\ = "\n"; print LIST }
. To use FILEHANDLE without a LIST to print the contents of $_
to it, you must use a bareword filehandle like FH
, not an indirect one like $fh
.
say
is available only if the "say"
feature is enabled or if it is prefixed with CORE::
. The "say"
feature is enabled automatically with a use v5.10
(or higher) declaration in the current scope.
