The book/man page say that warn takes a LIST for an argument.  But I get:

% perl -e 'warn "foo","bar\n"'
Warning: something's wrong at /tmp/perl-ea03185 line 1.

This works:

% perl -e 'warn "foo"."bar\n"'
foobar

This is on a Sun 4, SunOS 4.1.
Perl is:

This is perl, version 3.0

$Header: perly.c,v 3.0.1.9 90/11/10 01:53:26 lwall Locked $
Patch level: 41

Also happens on patch level 44.

The book is great!  Thanks a lot.
