At my stage of Perl development, it takes too long to wrap my mind 
around the anonymous code block inside the map. That }@$rowref; line 
simply looks wrong to my poor little C++/Pascal-addled brain. :}

To expand my Perl knowledge a little bit more, do you feel the third 
example is more efficient because it does not have the overhead of 
building a second array?
However, what is the efficiency of always appending to the $string on 
each pass vs doing a join (though, for all I know, join may simply 
iterate and append as well).

You didn't declare my $string?

Well TMTOWTDI indeed!
