By the way, an easier way to write the join version is

print map { "$_\n" } @list;


BTW, that's not the same. Join inserts its string between each element,
map (in this case) appends it to the end. A subtle difference that may
lead to confusion and errors.

The code I am referring to is

print +(join "\n", @LIST), "\n" ;

Which does the same thing as

print map { "$_\n" } @list;

The only difference between them is if $, is set.

No it doesn't. As Shawn said, the join doesn't append a newline
after the last element.
