When you enclose an array in double quotes in a print statement, you get a
space character printed between the elements. Since you have a newline at
the end of each line, you get this space character in front of each line,
starting with the second. If you
print OUTFILE @array;
it should work as intended (without the spaces).
But why are you reading your complete file into memory? The following
lines should do the same on a line-by-line basis (after your open-
statements):
print OUTFILE while <INFILE>;
