perl function print

The print function in Perl is used to output one or more strings to a filehandle, or to standard output if no filehandle is specified. The syntax for print function is as follows:

print FILEHANDLE LIST

or

print LIST

Here, FILEHANDLE is the filehandle to write to, and LIST is a list of strings to be printed.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Open a file in write mode
open FILE, ">output.txt" or die $!;

# Print a string to the file
print FILE "Hello, world!\n";

# Close the file
close FILE;

In this example, we first open a file called output.txt in write mode using the open function. We then use the print function to output the string "Hello, world!\n" to the file. Finally, we close the file using the close function.
