in reply to printing is not printing the full string

Just a hunch... maybe your data contains both carriage returns and line feeds, and you're only removing the line feeds?

So the last character of $schema_migration[3] puts the cursor back to the left, causing the : to overwrite the 'o' of 'out'

    # buffering the newschema
{
    @schema_migration = <SMI>;
    map { $_ =~ s/[\n\r]//g } @schema_migration;
}

print "\n";
print "\nout :$schema_migration[3]:\n"; exit;

      IMO s/\r?\n// is more general as it removes \r only if present (Windows) yet \n everytime (both Windows and Un*x). (No one cares of old MacOS (-; )
