sbrothy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

PROGRAM: FOO.PL:
#!/usr/bin/perl use autodie; use diagnostics; use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; my @array = ('a', 'b', 'v', 'h', 'j'); print "@array\n";
OUTPUT:

a b v h j

PROGRAM: BAR.PL:
#!/usr/bin/perl use autodie; use diagnostics; use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; ########################################### # read word list (csw.txt contains all the # valid words from the CSW scrabble word list) open my $fh, '<', 'csw.txt' or die $!; chomp (my @words = <$fh>); close $fh; print "@words\n";

OUTPUT:
If I execute it from the CLI like ./BAR.PL output is: ZZZSYVASSLYSLUS
it like all the words are printed the same place without any newlines.

If I execute it from the CLI like

./BAR.PL &> output

output contains: AA AAH AAHED AAHING AAHS AAL DELETIA ZYTHUMS ZYZZYVA ZYZZYVAS ZZZ ZZZS

I'm at a loss to explain what it going on.

PS: BTW. I'm ofcourse not trying to cheat at scrabble. I just like challenge. :) Regards, sbrothy
