say

  • say FILEHANDLE LIST

  • say FILEHANDLE
  • say LIST
  • say

    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 real filehandle like FH , not an indirect one like $fh .

    This keyword is available only when the "say" feature is enabled, or when prefixed with CORE:: ; see feature. Alternately, include a use v5.10 or later to the current scope.
