7. Debug Printing of Strings

        if (/Kool-Aid$/) { die }

• But it didn't die! Why not?

• Try the debugger:

        DB<119> p $_;
        I want to drink the Gnu/Linux Kool-Aid

• Pull your hair out.

• Or, instead:

        DB<119> p "<$_>";
        <I want to drink the Gnu/Linux Kool-Aid    >

• Oho.

• The terminal program should have taken care of this!
