If you're going to use it, localize it in a block:
{
  local $, = ', ';
  print $a, $comma, $separated, $list, "\n";
}

Do the same thing with the $LIST_SEPARATOR
{
  local $" = ', ';
  print "@some_array\n";
}

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
