in reply to efficient Array printing to a file

print takes a list, so there's no need to loop. You can take advantage of $", the list separator, 

{
    local $" = ' ';
    open my $lgh, '>>', $log or die $!;
    print $lgh "@x", $/      or die $!;
    close $lgh               or die $!;
}

You could equally well set the output record separator $, to space and leave off the doublequotes.

    Unless he's altered $" elsewhere (and I doubt it, because if he were familiar with $" I believe he'd have answered his own question already), there's no need to set it. It defaults to a single space.

    Also, there is no need to explicitly use $/, either. If he wants line-ending, he can just use "\n", which Does The Right Thing on non-UNIX platforms.
