Re^5: Short-circuiting a map list. (This works! But ...)

do does say "do BLOCK" does *not* count as a loop,

I don't think that is relevant as it is the anonymous block inside the do block that is the target of the last?

I can also get the same output with the same weirdness whilst avoiding the do block:

sub b{
    my $x = shift;

    goto sub {
        {
            print 'ba';
            map {
                print 'bb';
                last if $_ == $x;
                $_;
            } @_;
            print 'bc';
        }
    };
}

my @data = 0 .. 9;

print for b( 5, @data );

I am completely at a loss to explain the return values being stacked on top of the passes values?

Me too , except the aforementioned warning regarding unspecified behavior with loop control structure -- if you can last it, its a loop
