: i always thought the "." operator was higher overhead becasue it had
: more storage management.  why not:

That's my understanding, too, but ...
 
: 	( $a, $b ) = map { "$_$append" } ( $string1, $string2 );

... isn't equivalent to the .= problem that was originally posted. You're
making two *new* vars that represent the result of appending $append,
instead of actually appending $append to the original variables. Besides, I
shy away from using $a and $b because they are package globals used by sort.
Or were you just being Lazy and saving keystrokes? :-)

That said, 

	($string1, $string2) = map {"$_$append"} ($string1, $string2);
