# read word list (csw.txt contains all the 
# valid words from the CSW scrabble word list)
open my $fh, '<', 'csw.txt' or die $!;
chomp (my @words = <$fh>);
close $fh;

print "@words\n";

OUTPUT:
If I execute it from the CLI like ./BAR.PL output is: ZZZSYVASSLYSLUS
it like all the words are printed the same place without any newlines.

If I execute it from the CLI like

./BAR.PL &> output

output contains: AA AAH AAHED AAHING AAHS AAL DELETIA ZYTHUMS ZYZZYVA ZYZZYVAS ZZZ ZZZS

I'm at a loss to explain what it going on.

PS: BTW. I'm ofcourse not trying to cheat at scrabble. I just like challenge. :) Regards, sbrothy
