It's really quite simple to write a curry-able map in Perl. I'd expect it to be pretty slow, though, because of the many subroutine calls: 2+n for a list of n elements. If "map CODE, LIST" treats CODE as a subroutine, that makes 2+2*n calls.
And $_++ won't work.
use strict;
use warnings;
sub cmap (&) {
my $map = shift;
return sub { map $map->($_), @_ };
}
my $incr = cmap {$_*2};
print join " ", $incr->(2..5);
print "\n";
# 4 6 8 10

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).
