The both "visit" each element of a list
I was talking about their purpose.
The only way I can think of map on its own "transforming" a list is constructs like:
The whole purpose of map is to transform a list.
my @b = map uc, @a; # 1 to 1
my @b = map { $_ => uc($_) } @a; # 1 to N, const ratio
my @b = map { /^#/ ? () : $_ } @a; # 1 to N
But then it's the combination of map and the assign statement
No way. You don't have to assign the list to anything. You could pass it to join, for example.
print join '|', map uc, qw( a b c );

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).
