I would like to aggregate a string of text and variables into a new variable and can't seem to arrive at the correct syntax: 
my $var1="fie;
my $var2="fum";

$newvariable="fee $var1 fo $var2";
print "$newvariable\n";

I have tried putting my string into a array first: 
@newarray=(fee $var1 fo $var2);
print "$newarray[0],$newarray[1],$newarray[2],$newarray[3]\n";
$gser2="$newarray[0],$newarray[1],$newarray[2],$newarray[3]";

I am sure its just a matter of using the correct apostrophes but so far my own efforts have not been rewarded with success.


For the sake of clarity, here is the real syntax I am attempting to use:
my @gser=('TME GSER', $dealn, 'PAS 927922','SO',$so);
my $gser2= join ';', $gser[0],$gser[1],$gser[2],$gser[3],$gser[4];
worksheet->write_string(2, 4, $gsers); #input string into excel cell

As usual the wisdom of the perl monks is deeply appreciated,
