Array to strings?

[gfs X]

Hi, Im a complete noob to perl.
Is there a way to convert array values into a string?

For example

@myarr=("Sample","test","Array");
My desired output: "SampletestArray"
To then work with as a string.

I know I could just specify piece by piece but thats just too much and
very impractical (im using it to generate filenames)

Much thanks in advance

see

perldoc perlfunc
look for 'join'

$string = join('',@myarr)

FYI: this newsgroup is defunct. Try comp.lang.perl.misc in the future
for general Perl questions.
