in reply to idiom question
return status of print is always 1..for certain values of always. :-) print can return a non-successful status for a number of reasons. What if you try to print to a file that resides on a filesystem that is full? What if you're trying to print to a socket whose endpoint has crashed? print will tell you about all of these and more.
