in reply to concatenating arrays

The reason it fails is because . is the string concatonation operator. So, to concatonate two arrays you have to be a bit more explicit. something like :
@c = (@a,@b);
# .. or , the better approach (faster)
push(@c,@b,@a);

    *BZZZZZZZT* Nope. 
    # If initializing, this is clearer.
my @c = (@a, @b);
# .. or ... (now, more correct)
my @c;
push @c, @a, @b;

    push will take an array and a list, push the list onto the end of the array, and return the new number of elements.
