While examining this file for the purpose of writing tests, I noticed

[parrot] 504 $ grep -n '$/' config/auto/attributes.pm

67: $verbose and print "trying attribute '$attr'$/";
83: $verbose and print " ", $command_line, $/;
88: $verbose and print " exit code: $exit_code$/";
95: $verbose and print " output: $output$/";
100: $verbose and print " ccflags: $ccflags$/";
Why?
i.e., Why we do we need this here when "\n" suffices everywhere
else in
the Parrot distribution?
