...He wants $"

Sorry, I must be missing something:

my @array = ('a'..'z');
$" = '';
print "@array";
[download]

What's the point? Just do:

my @array = ('a'..'z');
print @array;
[download]

Why not set a lot of other special variables to the null string (eg $\ = ''; $/=''; while we're about it? :-)
