Re: Bug for the 'print' function in perl v5.14?

in reply to For the 'print' function in perl v5.14

print will print its arguments and then print the output record separator.

What's the output record separator? It's the variable $\ which is the empty string by default. It looks like something is setting your output record separator to a line break.

Things to check:

When you run perl at the command line, is that really running the usual Perl executable? Or is it triggering a shell alias; or a wrapper script?
Try running this command:
perl -MConfig -E'say for grep -e, qq[$Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl]'
If it prints out a filename, then take a peek inside that file. See if it's doing anything unusual.

update: replaced sitecustomize.pl checking command with a more aesthetically pleasing, but functionally identical one

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'
