The comment seems inessential, but I don't believe the two lines of code are relics. > -require v5.6; Pre-5.6 perls are probably rare these days, but if grog does indeed require 5.6 features, any users with an older perl ought to be told right away rather than face potentially baffling error messages later in the execution. > -$\ = "\n"; $\ is undefined by default, so the effect of this line's removal is immediately apparent by running "grog --version" on the new code, which no longer emits the trailing newline after the version statement. Some grog "print"s, but not all, do include an explicit "\n" at the end of the output string, but you'd have to check the entire program for consistency in this. The simpler solution, at least in the interim, is to restore the line above defining the output record separator, guaranteeing that the "\n" is output.
