To join strings there are several options

for printing your best bet is to send a comma seperated list, as that 
will have fewer syscalls (as per llama book advice).

EX:
        print "Hello", " World", $scalar_that_will_be_attached_to_end,
                        @array_that_will_be_flattened;

for setting it in a variable there are about a million and one ways to 
do this (TMTOWTDI).

you can use the '.' operator

EX:
        $var1 = $var2 . $var3;

and the other way *I* regularly find usefull is the '.' operator in a 
foreach loop

EX:
        foreach $item (@arry) { $var . " " . $item }

there are about a million other ways, those three will fit into most 
cases (at least they have for me), if your really serious about learning 
perl I suggest getting Programming Perl (oreilly) and Advanced Perl 
(oreilly) and The Perl Cookbook (oreilly)
