Re: precedence: two functions on one line

[bwana147]

Parentheses are mostly harmless, so you should use them when in doubt, or even when not in doubt, just to make things plain and visible.

Now, as for your problem:

$path = "/usr/local/bin/foobar/";
@file = map { "$path/$_.html" } qw/ a b c d e f /;

I can't change the data as this is part of a larger application that expects $tracker to be a scalar. However, This variation on what you posted does exactly what I want, and on a single line too!

@files = map { "$path$_" } split /<br>\n/, $tracker;

Must go meditate on the mysteries of the map function. Thanks!

map's great. Here's another example, to aid the old meditations:

$tracker = join "", map {"$_.html<br>\n"} ('a'..'f');

- although frankly it's more readable as a here doc!
