print(FILEHANDLE LIST)
print(LIST)
print FILEHANDLE LIST
print LIST
print Prints a string or a comma-separated list of
strings. Returns non-zero if successful. FILEHAN-
DLE may be a scalar variable name, in which case the
variable contains the name of the filehandle, thus
introducing one level of indirection. (NOTE: If
FILEHANDLE is a variable and the next token is a
term, it may be misinterpreted as an operator unless
you interpose a + or put parens around the argu-
ments.) If FILEHANDLE is omitted, prints by default
to standard output (or to the last selected output
channel--see select()). If LIST is also omitted,
prints $_ to STDOUT. To set the default output
channel to something other than STDOUT use the
select operation. Note that, because print takes a
LIST, anything in the LIST is evaluated in an array
context, and any subroutine that you call will have
one or more of its expressions evaluated in an array
context. Also be careful not to follow the print
keyword with a left parenthesis unless you want the
corresponding right parenthesis to terminate the
arguments to the print--interpose a + or put parens
around all the arguments.
