I am trying to use join in the below snip of code, but I can not seem to find the correct way to work it in. I have looked at the perldocs and can't find this type of situation. Can it be done? I would like the results to be returned seperated by ':' I tried 
print ref join (":", $searchresult)

[download]
What ends up happening is that none of the results are printed at all. I would greatly appreciate some help. Here is the entire print statement: 

print ref $searchresult
  ? "Located Part Number: @{ $searchresult }\n"
  : "Your Part Number ($part) Rev ($rev) could not be found....\n";
