Hello there,
I found the $" Scalar in some examples but I can´t figure out what they are
for.

Could someone tell me what $" is?



perldoc perlvar
 $LIST_SEPARATOR
 $"      This is like $, except that it applies to array and slice val-
         ues interpolated into a double-quoted string (or similar inter-
         preted string).  Default is a space.  (Mnemonic: obvious, I
         think.)

It's the string Perl uses to separate array values when expanded inside a double-quoted string.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @array = qw( a b c );
$" = ', ';
print "@array\n";

__END__
