in reply to Pushing a delimiter into an array?

..something similar to the following awk OFS command..

That would be perl's $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPERATOR i.e $,. It works similar to $", except that you don't have to interpolated your array values in a double-quoted string.

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