IO::Handle->output_record_separator EXPR
$OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
$ORS
$\

The output record separator for the print operator. If defined, this value is printed after the last of print's arguments. Default is undef. (Mnemonic: you set $\ instead of adding "\n" at the end of the print. Also, it's just like $/, but it's what you get "back" from Perl.)
