unwanted leading whitespace when using print

[rroo]

The following bit of code adds unwanted whitespace at the beginning of
some lines. It looks like the /n in the added text is not interpret
correctly. Using komodo debugger I cannot pinpoint the problem. The
generic array is filled correctly, only after the print the output is
incorrect.
See code and output:
<begin code>
my @generic;
my @allGeneric;

# read some lines from file, no specific mark up
# store matching lines in @genreric
FH = open "<", "Some file.txt";

while (<FH>)
{
if ($line =~ /some match/)
{
push (@generic, $line);
}
}
close FH;

#add some trailing text
#remove first element since it si always empty due to push

push (@generic, "\nSee some place: \n");
splice (@generic, 0,1);
push (@allGeneric,"*"x80 . "\n");
push (@allGeneric,@generic);

print "The system folder is ...\n\n";
print "===== Generic actions =====\n";
print "@allGeneric\n";
<end code>

This produces:
<begin output>
The system folder is ...


===== Generic actions =====
********************************************************************************
Ja, we hebben hier een heleboel werk om alles goed te krijgen met
allerlei linefeeds en line dingetjes waar ik niet zo'n goed zicht op
heb in perl gebruik. Daarom is het af en toe ook wel lastig, maar toch
ook wel (heel) erg vaak.

En soms: treedt er een 'panic' of "dubbele quote" op, maar mag dat?


See some place:

<end output>

Note the leading whitespace before 'Ja, ' and before 'En soms'.

Any help?
