Whoops, make that the attached example emits ">start\nend<" instead of ">start\nend\n<".

Hi, Show quoted text

Well, here's something weird. On my Lenny machine with Perl 5.10, I get this output: Show quoted text
>start\nend<
If, however, I simply comment out the "use 5.010" line, I get this output instead: Show quoted text
>start\nend\n<
"use 5.010" seems to be having some kind of weird side-effect; perhaps you should ask the core Perl developers what this is all about? Regards, David.

Interesting. Obviously, the difference is that with "use 5.010", the builtin is getting invoked, but without, IO::Handle::say() is getting invoked.

Hi, Elliot, Actually, I think the bug may be deeper than this. I think "say" is somehow broken. The following program: #============ CUT HERE ========= #/usr/bin/env perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use IO::Scalar; my $data; my $handle = IO::Scalar->new(\$data); { local $\ = "\n"; print {$handle} "start\nend"; } say {*STDOUT} ">$data<"; #============ CUT HERE ========= works as expected. Adding debugging in IO::Scalar reveals that $\ is indeed defined as "\n". I you replace the { local .. print.. } block with: say {$handle} "start\nend"; Then you get incorrect output, and the debugging code reveals that $\ is undefined. This is contrary to what "perldoc -f say" says. Perhaps you should open a bug report for core Perl? Regards, David.
