Re: Its all relative

No, they are not the same.

        print "something" (line,column,width)

By leaving out the line number (,x,y) you are saying, "print on the same
line".

Having said that, I do not know what a "0" would do in the line position.  I
could see how a "+0" would remain on the same line, however it seems to me
that a "0" would be "one before line 1"...

You could test it....

My $0.02....
