Well, all I know is that, in my experience, joining things with an empty
regex can introduce extra characters. For instance:
@array = qw(a apple b banana);
$scalar = join(//,@array);
>From that, $scalar is assigned to 'a1apple1b1banana', not 'aapplebbanana'
The way I get around this is to replace // with "". (i.e. join("",@array);)
I realize that a 1 is not a t, but I just thought this might be of some use.
If it's not, just ignore this message :)
