As I asked earlier,

HAVE YOU RE-READ perldoc -f join?
        and
WHERE DOES printflush COME FROM?

Answers:

  1. Here's what the join doc says (NB: "list"!): 
    "join EXPR,LIST

"Joins the separate strings of LIST into a single string with fields separated by the value of EXPR, and returns that new string. string. Example:

     $rec = join(':', $login,$passwd,$uid,$gid,$gcos,$home,$shell);

"

    <UPDATE: In some cases, the use of double quotes instead of single quotes around the EXPR produces unexpected results. I'll try to create some relevant examples. </UPDATE>
     
  2. I still can't tell.

If my previous attempt (in the CB) to help was unclear or misleading, my apologies for the sharp tone here.
