Hi Hallvard,
look at >> HELP JOIN
ARGUMENTS:
value -- Base value (Type: any)
rest -- Value or block of values (Type: any)
whatever type? the first value is (the Base value),
the second argument (the rest) will adopt it's type?.
in your case *print join "Took" * is a string
so, *s* will allways be a string. it's not a bug.
