Re^2: error message in the end of the array looping?

[polettix]

This surely popped somewhere else here in PM (I kinda remember something), but I did a supersearch for $/ without finding anything applicable. Why:

print 'We have a match.', $/

instead of

print "We have a match.\n"

(apart from TIMTOWTDI)? Pointers welcome!

Force of habit, mainly. I usually prefer giving print a list to concatenating strings and variables first. The habit just carries over to control characters like this, too.

I used to believe that $/ had some advantage over "\n" in platform independence, but I'm over that now.
