I think it's very nice to write as little code as possible,
not to the point where no code at all is needed,but as little as possible.
Recently I read a article about monads in Perl , which made a big impression on me. It expressed some things in a very elegant way. To what extent those things are useful is still an unanswered question for me.
I found myself rewinding on some old Perl presentation and finding about a regex to validate
nested parens,this also was very elegant.
Are there any other articles that describe what is covered in this presentation in a more detailed way ?(in particular Monads).
Have you used Monads in Perl and why would they be useful ?
Have you used functional programming in Perl , to what extent and has it been useful or just a caprice?

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).
