You are mixing paradigms here. The easiest way to do what you want would be to insert your list into an anonymous array, i.e.:

WriteToFile([qw(abc 23343)]);

See perlref and Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators for details.

Update: Incidentally, the qw list generator does not function like you may think - it uses whitespace as a delimiter, so commas and quotes are treated as literals, likely not what you want (I don't know for certain, obviously.) This is discussed in the link above. If you don't want to think about that, you could just as easily say:

WriteToFile( ["abc", "23343"] );
