IO::Extended - more print functions

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Extended ':all';

println 'Hello, this is println calling..';

printfln 'Hello, this is %s calling..', 'printfln';

print my $out = sprintfln 'Hello, this is %s calling..', 'sprintfln';

ind 1;

println "Hello, this is println calling.."; println "Hello, this is println calling..";

ind 2;

DESCRIPTION

IO::Extended contains a bunch of print-like functions, which automatically add newline characters to the string.
