The only problem there might be is that print() is susceptible to to the $, and $\ variables. The $, variable defines what gets printed in between the list of strings you pass to print(), and $\ defines what gets printed after the strings you pass to print(). Both default to the empty string, but if you were to change them, for some reason, print()s output would be affected (but printf()s would not). print "a", "b", "c"; # abc $, = "!"; print "a", "b", "c"; # a!b!c $\ = "?"; print "a", "b", "c"; # a!b!c? But this is not likely to happen, methinks. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan % How can we ever be the sold short or RPI Acacia Brother #734 % the cheated, we who for every service http://japhy.perlmonk.org/ % have long ago been overpaid? http://www.perlmonks.org/ % -- Meister Eckhart Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
