I've run across an odd little quirk, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before.

I'm loading a text file into an array. The text file has data saved from a previous array, example:

20130516,530,730
20130516,731,1100
20130516,1101,1200

To confirm that the data is loaded into the array, I printed out the loaded array using this code:

print "@LoadedArray";

All the data prints out as is it is in the text file, with one exception. After the first row of the loaded array is printed, each subsequent row has one extra space in front of it. Example, using underscores to simulate the added space:

20130516,530,730
_20130516,731,1100
_20130516,1101,1200

When I print the array using the following code:

foreach $ArrayRow( @LoadedArray ) { print "$ArrayRow"; }

the added spaces don't appear - the data prints as it is in the text file.

I don't think this is really a problem, just a curiosity I found (fingers crossed).
The only "problem" is that stuff like this tends to stick in my brain until I know why it happened :)
