note CountZero When you print an array, like <c>print @array;</c> then all elements of the array are <c>print</c>ed next to each other without any separation.<p>On the other hand if you print the array like <c>print "@array";</c> then the array is first interpolated, i.e. the elements are joined by whatever is in <c>$"</c> (usually a space).<!-- Node text goes above.
