in reply to Echoing on screen

I like to use warn ( or carp ) since that lets me easily separate the debugging output from the program output when running on the command line.

    I agree to a certain extent, for instance when piping the different outputs to files. But in some situations if the os doesnt handle its buffering properly (Win32 doest always seem to) the output can be intermixed in ways that make it hard to see the time sequence of the output. So I've found that often its best to stick with just plain old print.
