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

It is possible that the line is interpreted as follows

(print($val / 8050)) . " \n";

i.e. the parentheses being used as delimiters for a function argument list, with the ."\n" being silently discarded. Try:

 print( ($val/8050) . "\n" );
