Re: Bug for the 'print' function in perl v5.14?

print will print its arguments and then print the output record separator.

What's the output record separator? It's the variable $\ which is the empty string by default. It looks like something is setting your output record separator to a line break.

Things to check:

When you run perl at the command line, is that really running the usual Perl executable? Or is it triggering a shell alias; or a wrapper script?
Try running this command:
perl -MConfig -E'say for grep -e, qq[$Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl]'
If it prints out a filename, then take a peek inside that file. See if it's doing anything unusual.

update: replaced sitecustomize.pl checking command with a more aesthetically pleasing, but functionally identical one

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

`perl -MConfig -E'$_="$Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl"; -e()?say:()'` [download] This command prints nothing for me, but thank you all the same!	[reply] [d/l]
