You mean it does what is it documented to do?  From the man page
for Net::DNS::RR::TXT:

    When invoked in scalar context, txtdata() returns a concatenation of the
    descriptive text elements each separated by a single space character.

Try adding the line

    print "txtdatj:|" . join("", $rr->txtdata) . "|\n";

to your shell/perl command line, and study the results.
