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.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
