  Just like `print`, but implicitly appends a newline. `say LIST` is simply an abbreviation for `{ local $\ = "\n"; print LIST }` . To use FILEHANDLE without a LIST to print the contents of `$_` to it, you must use a real filehandle like `FH` , not an indirect one like `$fh` .

  This keyword is available only when the `"say"` feature is enabled, or when prefixed with `CORE::` ; see feature. Alternately, include a `use v5.10` or later to the current scope.
