Wouldn't even println() have been a better naming choice?
Surely not! Perl builtins tend to be one word that can (syntactically) be read as plain English, with a few exceptions that come from POSIX system calls (like gethostbyname) And println is too long, compared to say ;-) The word say suggests some I/O similar to print, which in fact it is. The exact semantics are not obvious, but they aren't hard to learn. In reply to Re^3: Why should I use perl 5.10?
