## Definition and Usage

- Prints the values of the expressions in LIST to the current default output filehandle, or to the one specified by FILEHANDLE.

- If set, the $\ variable will be added to the end of the LIST

- If LIST is empty, the value in $_ is printed instead.

- print accepts a list of values and every element of the list will be interpreted as an expression.

## Return Value

- 1 on success

## Example

Try out following example:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    $string = "That is test";
    @list = (1,2,3,4,5,6,);
    $index = index ($string, 'is');

    print "Position of is in the string $index\n";
    print "Print list @list\n";

It will produce following results:

    Position of is in the string 5
    Print list 1 2 3 4 5 6
