And say prints $_, doesn't it? Do you see any mention of `$_` in The Fine Manual? I don't. If you don't believe the documentation, you could always write your own code to answer your own question.	[reply] [d/l]

No, but I see mention of "just like `print`". And `print;` prints `$_`, so it's a safe assumption that `say` does as well, only with an implicit `\n`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

My main point is that the AnonymousMonk should show a modicum of effort: read the tiny document (a link to which was provided), then write a 2-line script to prove whether it does or does not print `$_`. OK. So the PerlMonks link to 'say' is broken, but the URL is valid.	[reply] [d/l]
