[Gllug] Variadic arguments in perl

[- Tethys]

I'm sure there's a trivial answer to this, but I'm buggered if I can
find it. In perl, I want to create a function that take a
printf()-like format specifier, and a variable number of subsequent
arguments. I want to sprintf() those arguments into a string, which I
then do some other stuff with later in the function. The thing I can't
get to work is passing those arguments into sprintf(). The naive
approach of:

$str = sprintf(@_);

doesn't work. Any ideas?
