Re: print on one line

In addition to what kennethk said, I think you don't want the -l switch, since you want to print the asterisk horizontally, not vertically; so I suggest that you replace l by w.

It is true that the `-l` switch is not needed. Nor is `$\=""` needed since there is no input. Removing both will still output horizontal asterisks. However, `-w` will not affect the output with respect to horizontal or vertical; it enables warnings. See perlrun.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

However, -w will not affect the output with respect to horizontal or vertical; it enables warnings. Exactly, and that's why I recommended it. -l is not needed, so I suggested to remove it. -w is recommendet, so I suggested to add it. If you remove l and add w, you can equally say that you replace l by w ;-) -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
