in reply to Space prepended to Array Print

Hi JockoHelios,
You have been accurately answered. But if you wouldn't mind a little illustration using some code snippets:

use warnings; use strict; my @array = map{$_}<DATA>; print @array; print $/; print join '' => @array; print $/; print "@array"; print $/; { local $"=''; print "@array"; } __DATA__ 20130516,530,730 20130516,731,1100 20130516,1101,1200
Output:
20130516,530,730 20130516,731,1100 20130516,1101,1200 20130516,530,730 20130516,731,1100 20130516,1101,1200 20130516,530,730 20130516,731,1100 ## note here 20130516,1101,1200 ## and here 20130516,530,730 20130516,731,1100 20130516,1101,1200
Note:

Hope this help in some way.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
