I am printing out (using "print") 6 strings. Cumulatively they cover somewhere between 71-74 chars including a single char (space or comma,) in between each string. What I end up with are the first 5 strings on a line (usually 60-63 chars) with the 6th string on a line below for each set. This happens with every single print command. Honestly I have no "\n" in the print statement. Also - I am writing this to a file created by sysopen. I'm beginng to think that this is not a perl problem but a unix (TERM?) environment problem. But I'm still in the dark...
