in thread solved: beginners trap: one liner
Actually, the behavior on Windows (10, 1903 edition) appears to depend on one's shell.
I ran toohoo's test in different "command windows" on my Windows laptop.
Here's what I found:
- Command prompt (CMD): printed nothing with a line feed.
- Git bash: printed the message and added a line feed.
- WSL: bash prompt: printed the message with no line feed.
- PowerShell prompt1: printed nothing.
I don't think these results surprise anyone familiar with how Windows has implemented some of these things; however, the variation may surprise a few others.
(Oh, should mileage vary [likely], I suppose it's worth mentioning that I have two copies of perl installed on my laptop: the one provided with git bash and a relatively recent copy of Strawberry perl.)
Hope this helps...

1 - There are multiple versions of PowerShell available; I use generally use Core, but the same behavior was seen in the Desktop version as well.
