Well, I thought this might be useful to some, just a boring post to others, but I decided to go ahead and post this anyways. (hopefully the right place was choosen to post).

Alright, you have your normal ways of connecting like:

$string .= "something";

or:

$string = "something" . "more";

but the way I prefer is like this:

open(THIS, "${file}/${user}.txt");

just put $ then an opening bracket, the variable name, then the closing bracket, then whatever you want around it. You can play around with it to test it out, but this is the way I have always prefered. Hope this helps at least one person.
