Yeah, sprintf() should take care of all your formatting needs. I've
found that I use printf() very rarely in Perl, because you can
interpolate variables so elegantly in strings. Also, there's a lot of
hidden functionality in the loggers as is (think about loggers that take
fixed arguments like database loggers, or that you can pass a subroutine
to any logger which it will then evaluate), so having printf-like
functions would considerably complicate things. But thanks for the
suggestion!
