Debug Printing of Lists

        @t = ('x', ' ', '=', ' ', '3.4', '& ', 'y', '', '=', '', '5')

• Now print @t yields

        x = 3.4& y=5

• Hard to tell what the list elements are!

• print "@t" is even worse!

        x   =   3.4 &  y  =  5

• Solution:

        $" = ')(';
        print "(@t)";

        (x)( )(=)( )(3.4)(& )(y)()(=)()(5)
