in reply to Back to Remedial Perl for Me: map{} function
A note on efficiency:
`map EXPR, LIST' is in general quite a bit faster than `map BLOCK LIST', so you should probably try to use EXPRs rather than BLOCKs whenever possible in a map.
For instance, here are your first examples recoded as EXPRs:
my @adjusted_array = map $_ * 10, @array;
my %hash = map split /-/, @array;
Why is it faster? Using the BLOCK introduces a new scope, which adds some extra ops and time to start and finish. BLOCKs do give you extra power and flexibility, but try to use them only when necessary.
