This doesn't work for me.  But it gave me an idea.  This DOES work:

  set myScript to "print join '|', @ARGV"
  set myList to {"a", "b"}
  tell application "MacPerl" to Do Script [myScript] & myList mode Batch

The trick is to first coerce the script string (whether it is a filename or
the text of the script) into a list, and then & will combine the lists into
one list.  I knew there was a way to do it ...
