I am aware that there are a number of Perl "operations" that will use
the system variable $_ as the default variable if one is not supplied.
Consider the following snippet (where XMLIN is a previously opened file
handle):
foreach (<XMLIN>)
{
chomp;
# Do some stuff to the contents of the line.
print;
}
OK, what I really want to do here is print the (possibly changed) line,
AND a CR/LF, but to do that, I have to add a separate print statement
like this: print "\n";
So after all these years, I'm wondering, is there a PERLish way to add a
"\n" in the same line of code that prints the default $_ variable?
