I can currently do that with $\, and $, for strings between items. For
example:
($\, $,) = ("\n", "\t");
@ary = qw(one two three);
print @ary;
The output will be the same as if you had done:
print "one\ttwo\tthree\n";
Now, *I* expect that $, and $\ will closely be linked to each
filehandle, so that output STDERR will not have this feature enabled if
you specified it for printing to your file.
Besides, Perl has quite a few better alternatives than a bunch of
println statements, which is probably what you'd use it for. For
example: here-docs.
