Re: $_ and list flattening with map()

[pg]

in reply to $_ and list flattening with map()

This tells why:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $a = [[0,1,2], [10,11,12]];
print \$a->[0][0], "\n";
print \$a->[0][1], "\n";
print \$a->[0][2], "\n";
print \$a->[1][0], "\n";
print \$a->[1][1], "\n";
print \$a->[1][2], "\n";
print "=======\n";
print \$_, "\n" for map @$_, @{$a};#one of your way
print "=======\n";
foreach (@$a) { print \$_, "\n" foreach @$_ }#your other way

Result, see how the 3rd set is the same as the 1st one, but the 2nd set stands alone:

SCALAR(0x15551a4)
SCALAR(0x15551b0)
SCALAR(0x15551c8)
