Sorry! Amazing how you I can see what you I want to see, when I made the post it all made perfect sense, but I guess (as has been comprehensively brought to my attention:), I would have lost that bet...again.

I've thrown everything I can think of at this code and I simply cannot make it fail, or produce the output you are seeing.

Maybe if you posted the whole script someone would spot something. It really boggles the mind as to how the same print statement could print the first half of the output and omit the second. I tried redefining join to return undef, the empty list and several other variations, but the newline was always printed. I tried turning buffering off and on, and futzing with STDOUT in another thread, but I (now, belatedly, once my failing have been pointed out to me) cannot find a way to make this happen.

If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.
