I wish I could tell you what happened. I added print statements in the package, I was seeing them in the output, I added a print statement, I stopped seeing any output from the package, I removed the recently addded print statement, I could no longer see any output from the package

Years ago I remembered that I tried to print in a package and it did not work, I wrote it off to scope and moved on with debug objects. My question is: should I expect a print statement to provide output on STDOUT as it does when the print statement is in the main body of the .pl?

If the answer is "no". can you point me at something that will help me output data from the package so I can see what is happening inside that code?
