How to print a line to STDERR and STDOUT in Perl?
Posted on In QAIn Perl, how to print a string as a line to STDOUT? That is, the string and the newline character, nicely?
And similarly, how to print the line to STDERR?
In Perl, to nicely print a new line to STDOUT, you can use the “say” feature which “Just like print, but implicitly appends a newline”:
use 5.010;
say "hello world!"
An example,
$ perl -de1
main::(-e:1): 1
DB<1> use 5.010;
DB<2> say "hello world"
hello world
DB<3>
In Perl, to print to STDERR, you can print
to STDERR
which is the STDERR:
say STDERR "your message here"
For example,
$ perl -de1
main::(-e:1): 1
DB<1> use 5.010;
DB<2> say STDERR "hello world";
hello world
DB<3>
