| Subject: | trailing new line with perror |
When using perror with a non-native method, after each log line an
empty line is printed to stderr.
One new line is added here:
$mask .= "\n" unless $mask =~ /\n$/;
$message = @args ? sprintf($mask, @args) : $mask;
And another one here:
print STDERR "$whoami: $message\n";
This patch fixes the bug:
