Explanation

In Splunk's eval command, the period (.) is the concatenation operator. It joins two values into a single string, automatically converting numbers to their string representation in the process. For example: eval result = "Order: " . order_id would concatenate the literal string with a numeric field. The + operator performs arithmetic addition, not string concatenation. The & and ~ characters are not valid concatenation operators in SPL eval expressions.
