print BAK &quot;@complete @varibak&quot;;
You are telling PERL to print the arrays and combine them within a set of quotes which is a logic error. This is probably what you want

@final = (@complete, @varibak);

print BAK &quot;@final&quot;;



print BAK &quot;@complete \@varibak&quot;;
This \ is escaping the @ which negates the array context making it legal

The problem is that you mispelled the variable in the print statement ('vaibak' vs 'varibak'). Perl doesn't recognize the variable but since it's inside a string it isn't a fatal error (if you're using strict), a warning is thrown because maybe you were just trying to print a literal '@'.

jaa

I love the irony of misspelling the word 'misspelled'.
