Simple Print/Say Question

[Chris Yocum]

Hi all,
    I was converting a program that I wrote a while back from Perl5
to Perl6 and I got stuck on something really easy.  In Perl5, when I
want to print something out, in this case an array with lines between
the columns, like this:

1|2|3

I would say something like:

print $array[0] . "|" . $array[1] . "|" . $array[2] . "\n";

not the best way but it works.

In Perl6 if say something like this:

print @array[0] ~ "|" ~ @array[1] ~ "|" ~ @array[2] . "\n";

I get

1 2 3 | | |

My question is: why is it doing that or, more to the point, what am I
doing wrong?

Thanks,
Chris

PS This is what I am running currently:
