Equivalent to print FILEHANDLE sprintf(FORMAT, LIST)
, except that $\
(the output record separator) is not appended.  The FORMAT and the
LIST are actually parsed as a single list.  The first argument
of the list will be interpreted as the printf format.  This
means that printf(@_) will use $_[0]
 as the format.  See
sprintf for an
explanation of the format argument.  If use locale
 (including
use locale ':not_characters'
) is in effect and
POSIX::setlocale() has been called, the character used for the decimal
separator in formatted floating-point numbers is affected by the LC_NUMERIC
locale setting.  See perllocale and POSIX.
For historical reasons, if you omit the list, $_
 is used as the format;
to use FILEHANDLE without a list, you must use a real filehandle like
FH
, not an indirect one like $fh
.  However, this will rarely do what
you want; if $_ contains formatting codes, they will be replaced with the
empty string and a warning will be emitted if warnings are enabled.  Just
use print if you want to print the contents of $_.
Don't fall into the trap of using a printf when a simple
print would do.  The print is more efficient and less
error prone.
