Re: joining word/ lines in a file

oops, wrong direction -- you wanted to take out the newlines. use chomp and print the resulting array with $, left at the default value:

    $ perl -e 'chomp (my @a = <>); print @a' myfile [anotherfile ...];

i.e., read from ARGV, put it all in an array, slice off the input record separators; print the array.
