in reply to Should I leave behind beautiful code or readable code?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." For those who live as professional programmers, beauty as a consuming passion that disappears in a few days and leave nothing but a sense of emptyness is not a top priority, I think. Beauty needs a more pragmatic approach, something that makes it more close to code that works and that can be changed without hair-pulling. It is not that fugacity that dazzles, it is more like that brightness that stands. In this case, pride should be on getting things permanent and not in such a way that gives other people headache.

After all, maybe you should try something like this 

sub MySub
{
    ...some stuff...
    return map { split(/ /,$_,2) }
           map { uc } 
           @somearray;
}

Not that big deal, but more everlasting as a good memory.
