You mean before it.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that somewhere in the code generating this
is an array in a string context, i.e., :
" ... @lines ... "
Two ways to fix this: either take @lines out of string context, provided
that the string is already in a list context:
" ... ", @lines, " ...
Or temporarily change the character interpolated between array elements:
{ local $"; ... " ... @lines ... " }
Or - three ways - use join:
" ... " . join('', @lines) . " ... "
and now you don't have to worry about whether the string was in a list
context or not.
