Why aren't newlines being printed in this Perl code?

Question

I have some simple Perl code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;   # not in the OP, recommended
use warnings; # not in the OP, recommended

my $val = 1;
for ( 1 ..         


        

Answer 1

This is more of a comment than an answer, but I don't know how else to make it and the question is already answered anyway.

Note that using say instead of print neatly sidesteps the whole issue. That is,

#!/usr/bin/perl

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $val = 1;
for ( 1 .. 100 ) {
    $val = ($val * $val + 1) % 8051;
    say ($val / 8050);
}

works as intended without the issue even coming up. I'm still amazed at how useful say is, given it's such a tiny difference.
