That's good to know...

It looks like I've over-simplified.  I'm "concatenating" two variables into
a list:

$newTxt[$row] = [ @{$numTxt[$row]}, "\t" x ($nextCol - $#{$numTxt[$row]}),
@temp ];

I'd like result to be @temp if $numTxt[$row] is undefined, and that whole
mess if it isn't.  It seems like this should be done without an if/then, but
I can't see how.
