No.
perldoc -f print
print FILEHANDLE LIST
print LIST
print Prints a string or a list of strings. Returns true if
successful. FILEHANDLE may be a scalar variable name, in which
case the variable contains the name of or a reference to the
filehandle, thus introducing one level of indirection.
If the comma is missing then the first scalar or bareword argument is treated
as a filehandle.
