I wonder, wouldn't this be more perlish?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; sub println(@) { print map{"$_\n"} @_; } println 'Foo', 'Bar'; println 'Baz';
Since print accepts an array of things to print, you'd think that the Perl println would provide a shortcut to adding a newline to each element of the array. :)

That said, I've not really missed this shortcut (even though I have a java background), but if it was added, I might just use it.


You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
