According to the book and the man page, the argument of warn is a list.

When I try:
	perl -e 'warn "foo","bar\n";'
I get:
	Warning: something's wrong at /tmp/perl-ea10890 line 1.

However:
	perl -e 'warn "foobar\n";'
Gives:
	foobar

This is patchlevel 44 on SunOs 4.1.

(I posted this once before, but I don't think it made it out of here.)
