Equivalent toprint FILEHANDLE sprintf(FORMAT, LIST), except that$\ (the output record separator) is not appended. The first argument of the list will be interpreted as theprintf format. Seesprintf for an explanation of the format argument. Ifuse locale is in effect, the character used for the decimal point in formatted real numbers is affected by the LC_NUMERIC locale. Seeperllocale.
Don't fall into the trap of using aprintf when a simpleprint would do. Theprint is more efficient and less error prone.
