couldn't quite get my head to how to search for it Did you have any search ideas? I'm interested, because its one of those things, if you don't know the name, its kind of hard to find, Tutorials: Closure on Closures	[reply]

Great node link, thanks o/ And no, I sorta came up with diddly squat, hunting around for 'lambdas' as I was.	[reply]

That could have worked :) lambdas , lambda The first lambda language to go mainstream ? a new keyword "lambda language" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_language#Lambda_calculus_and_programming_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_language#Anonymous_functions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function#Closures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function#Currying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function#Perl Perl 5 supports anonymous functions, as follows: `(sub { print "I got called\n" })->(); # 1. fully anonymous, ca +lled as created my $squarer = sub { my $x = shift; $x * $x }; # 2. assigned to a varia +ble sub curry { my ($sub, @args) = @_; return sub { $sub->(@args, @_) }; # 3. as a return value o +f another function } # example of currying in Perl sub sum { my $tot = 0; $tot += $_ for @_; $tot } # returns the sum of +its arguments my $curried = curry \&sum, 5, 7, 9; print $curried->(1,2,3), "\n"; # prints 27 ( = 5 + 7 + 9 + 1 + 2 + +3 )` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

The term is Currying, or, if you prefer, CurryingSchonfinkelling.	[reply]

a HA! Well that explains "I iterate before I curry" then I suppose. Yeah I'd never have come up with currying as a search term.	[reply]
