The only problem there might be is that print() is susceptible to to the
$, and $\ variables. The $, variable defines what gets printed in between
the list of strings you pass to print(), and $\ defines what gets printed
after the strings you pass to print(). Both default to the empty string,
but if you were to change them, for some reason, print()s output would be
affected (but printf()s would not).
print "a", "b", "c"; # abc
$, = "!";
print "a", "b", "c"; # a!b!c
$\ = "?";
print "a", "b", "c"; # a!b!c?
But this is not likely to happen, methinks.
