This is because you're viewing the output in a web-browser.
If you look at the source code it sends to the browser, you'll see that it
does actually say
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
But the browser doesn't care about that, it's reading the HTML, so it needs
a <BR> to create a line break.
So do:
for (1..5) {print qq'Hello<BR>';}
Hope this helps.
