Here's something from my recent web application:
my %immediate = map { m/(\d+)/; $1 => 1; }
grep /m_immediate_/, (keys %{$cgi->Vars});
I have a bunch of check box controls in an HTML form, and this just gives me a hash containing the ones that are set. You have to read it from right to left .. first I get all of the keys from CGI's Vars hash, and keep only the ones containing 'm_immediate'; I collect the numeric part, make a hash element using the value, and put that into the 'immediate' hash.
Terse, powerful, simple. That's Perl.

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).
