Re^2: Merging of custom array

The newline would have been a problem with print.

Not if you set the OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR like say() does:

local $\ = "\n";

set the OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR like say() does I was surprised by this, and then noticed that you were referring to the say docs. However, IMHO they're wrong, say doesn't seem to set a local $\, so I just filed bug #134298 to hopefully clarify/fix the documentation. Update: A patch has been applied, the say docs in the next release will say: Just like `print`, but implicitly appends a newline at the end of the LIST instead of any value `$\` might have.	[reply]
