in reply to I don't use printf enough

I can see using it or not as a decision depending on what circumstance allows. Would the following also work, though? 

print( 
  join('', 
    ('text text ', 
      $obj->method1(), 
      ' more text ', 
      $obj->method2(), 
      ' blah blah ', 
      $obj->method3(),
      "\n")
  )
);

    Ummm. Unless $, is set to something besides undef, why join? print accepts a list just as easily as a single string.

    I often use a similar construct, like so: 
    use constant DELIM => "\t";

my $fh = IO::File->new(">$filename") || die $!;

print $fh join(DELIM,
    'Col 1',
    'Col 2',
    'Col 3',
), $/;

# And so forth

    Yes, I should use something like Text::xSV, but it currently doesn't do output.
