Re: Is there a better way to use the line number in a quoted string than __LINE_

in reply to Is there a better way to use the line number in a quoted string than __LINE__?

... a better way ...

Maybe
printf "Line %s looks very nice\n", __LINE__;
or
printf "Line %d looks very nice\n", __LINE__;
which don't seem so bad to me.

NB: This is hardly unfanny, but works:

Win8 Strawberry 5.8.9.5 (32)  Sun 03/07/2021  3:40:51
C:\@Work\Perl\monks
>perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings
print "Line ${ \__LINE__ } is ok syntactically \n";
^Z
Line 1 is ok syntactically
