In fact you seem to be calculating all of the odd numbers rather than the prime numbers.
Indeed, and in a very clumsy way, including the deprecated use of a map in void context...
Update: at the moment of this update this node has gained a reputation of -4. So far so fine. However this should imply that at least four persons did disagree with my claim. I must deduce that those persons think that
@prime = (1,2);
map { push(@prime,$_) if (($_ % 2) != 0) } (2 .. 100);
is a very nice, clean and elegant way to obtain the list of "primes" (in l.frankline's arithmetic) as opposed to, say,
my @prime=(1,2,grep $_%2, 2..100);
PS: from perldoc perlstyle:
Avoid using grep() (or map()) or `backticks` in a void context, that is, when you just throw away their return values. Those functions all have return values, so use them. Otherwise use a foreach() loop or the system() function instead.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
