Re^2: Why won't say act like say when its tied?by ELISHEVA (Prior) |

print appends the value of $\ to the end of whatever is passed to print, so if $\="***\n", then {print "hello", "\n"; } outputs "hello\n***\n" not plain "hello\n". That's why it is important for say to set local $\="\n" and not just add "\n" to the end of the list of things to print. Hope that helps.
