Well it's good to know you'll get the line number and source file
name if you omit the newline, but ... most often you do not want it
there. What would you think of a program that responds to you with
Cannot find file Foo.txt at script.pl line 26.
? Looks like the programm crashed, not that it just compains that the
user entered an incorrect filename. If it's a message that's supposed
to be seen by lusers you most probably do not want the source info
appended.
