Re: Ways to control a map() operation

[ioannis]

You can exit map() with a return, like this: sub{ map { print ; return if 5 >= $_ ; $_ } @arr; }->();

but in doing so, now you can no longer store the map-derived values to a named array, you will have to push them:

# This is no good, values are not stored in @early: sub{ @early = map { print ; return if 5 >= $_ ; $_ } 3..9; }->();

# This is how to store values into @early : sub{ map { print ; return if $_ == 5 ; push @early, $_ } 3..9; }->(); Here is the full snipplet:

my @arr = 3..9 ;
our @early;

sub{ map { print ; return if $_ == 5 ; push @early, $_ }  @arr; }->();

print "@early";
