According to perldoc -f say: > Just like "print", but implicitly appends a newline. "say LIST" > is simply an abbreviation for "{ local $\ = "\n"; print LIST > }". print() already uses $\ so if that's all say() did it would have no effect. Instead, say() temporarily sets $\ to "\n" before printing so that the "record" ends with a newline. If you want to use $\ instead of "\n" then you can just use print normally. use strict; use warnings; $\ = "--->"; print for qw/foo bar baz/; __END__ Output: foo--->bar--->baz---> Regards, -- Brandon McCaig <bamcc...@gmail.com> <bamcc...@castopulence.org> Castopulence Software <https://www.castopulence.org/> Blog <http://www.bamccaig.com/> perl -E '$_=q{V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl. }. q{Vg qbrfa'\''g nyjnlf fbhaq gung jnl.}; tr/A-Ma-mN-Zn-z/N-Zn-zA-Ma-m/;say'
