in thread different terminal

It works better without the ")".

With it, the shell complains:

sh: 6: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
but the output is produced anyway.

        What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against?

    Actual demo code:

    produces

      No, things should be kept simple.

      - printf "%s\n",join("\n",@lines); + print @lines;

      All those lines in @lines come with "\n".

      Because this time you didn't forget the opening bracket of your subshell ;)
