['man perlvar']
     $"      This is like "$," except that it applies to array
             and slice values interpolated into a double-quoted
             string (or similar interpreted string).  Default is
             a space.  (Mnemonic: obvious, I think.)

So, yes, and changing $" will have the desired effect.
