I assume that's "printbr"

        sub printbr {
            local($\, $,) = ("<BR>\n", "<BR>\n");
               # let's add anewline as well
            print @_;
        }

I don't see the need for something in the core that

 - can take one of many, many forms;
 - can be written in a sub in two simple lines of code.

Besides, if this is for HTML, I wouldn't *ever* use it, because I want
my strings HTML-ified. ( '&' --> '&amp;', '<' --> '&lt;', etc.)
