Why not?  You are telling it to print the value of printing a newline.
So it prints the newline, then it prints a one, then it loops to the
next element in the list @INC, etc.  (I haven't even tested it.  How's
that for smug?)

Put the semicolon after the first 'print' and all will be what you
expect.
