With all due respect (I'm a lifestyle Perlert my self), please note that 
this is a JavaScript group and people here should not be expected to 
know languages like Perl or to be willing to run a Perl interpreter just 
to see the actual JavaScript code generated. Moreover, newsreaders tend 
to break lines and other things.

So please post the generated JavaScript code or, much more preferably, 
the URL of a page that demonstrates the problem in context.

The invocation msg.concat(...) returns a concatenated string (consisting 
of the value of msg and the argument values). It does not change the 
value of msg, as the above seems to assume.

That's strange, because it seems that in your code, the value of msg is 
initialized to the empty string and not changed then at all.

To modify the current value of msg by appending the values of a and b to 
it, you could use

msg = msg.concat(a, b)

though I guess people mostly use just

msg += a + b
