The best answer to your question is to reverse lines 1 and 2, then omit line 7.

But red flag alert!

Any time you find yourself doing a lot of accessing a function by index, you are opening yourself up for potential looping bugs (off by one, fencepost, etc). As a sign of that I note that you are initializing your array by index in a loop that starts from 1. But Perl's arrays count by offset - the first index is always 0!

Generally you can get rid of that source of error by letting Perl take care of the array accessing logic for you. (For those who have their priorities backwards, it is also marginally faster.) 

my @final;
for my $i (1..10) {
  my $temp_string = "";
  for my $x (@array) {
    $temp_string .= $x;
  }
  push @final, $tempstring;
}

Additional note. Note the my declaration on the loop variables? That is because I use strict.pm unless I have very good reason not to. (Free typo check! Why wouldn't I want that?) Hence I don't fall into any habits (such as not declaring loop variables) which conflict with that.
