in thread script adding spaces into a file for no reason...
My solution,
@{[join("",@text)]} does not return an
array in this case. (Look at pg.239-241 of Effective Perl Programming
for more examples of using this construct). It does use the
anonymous array construct and the array dereferencing construct,
but the net result is to interpret the code inside the brackets
in whatever context it would have occured elsewhere outside
of the constuct and the here-doc. So, because "join" returns
a scalar, so does my code. It's just a quick and dirty way
to interpolate a piece of code inside a larger print statement.
Of course, there are many other ways you could accomplish the same thing, I just happen to like this because it keeps the amount of variable assignment to a minimum.
