Believing that you need have no regets because you got what you wanted

Indeed, there's no moral requirement to actually include "use strict"
and "use warnings" in the code fragments you post. There is a moral
requirement to ensure there are not mistakes that would have been
detected by their use.

Perl's print() is the usual way to write to files in Perl.
