join does not set $_ to each element obviously. And why is that so? Ask Larry! pelagic	[reply]

I will ask next time I meet him :) As I speculated above, it might not make sense to set `$_` to each element since each step of the join must work on a pair of elements.	[reply] [d/l]

> must work on a pair of elements Yep, that must be the reason. Somewhat similar to sorting maybe (with $a and $b). Probably it's not a very popular requirement to join with a variable join-string. pelagic	[reply]
