Hi Grandfather, because I would use `say()` [download] but didn't want to introduce that change in my comment. And because usually I am doing `$log->debug(sprintf 'format', @values)` [download] or even `$msg = sprintf 'format', @values; $DEBUG && say $msg && $log->debug($msg);` [download] Basically, I've never used `printf` alone in the last 20 years, because it does not meet my needs. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi Grandfather, because I would use

say()
[download]

And because usually I am doing

$log->debug(sprintf 'format', @values)
[download]

$msg = sprintf 'format', @values;
$DEBUG && say $msg && $log->debug($msg);
[download]

Basically, I've never used printf alone in the last 20 years, because it does not meet my needs.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
