Well it made me laugh, especially as the "spirit of the OP's question" is obviously homework. :)

    (drifting off-topic...)

    It was actually useful for me, even though it's not a homework assignment :)

    I wanted to send the results to a file (not a problem), but this syntax caused a space to be inserted at the beginning of the second and subsequent lines. I'm already generating the array elements with a terminating newline, so I had to use:

    print FILE join( "", @array );

    To get what I wanted.

    Thanks though, for helping me to think outside of the looping concept.

      Why join? If you're already generating the array elements with a terminating newline, why not just: 

      c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -e
"my @ra = (qq{bat\n}, qq{ball\n}, qq{glove\n});
 print @ra;
"
bat
ball
glove
