in thread How do i extract 3 variables from each line in a file, and print them to a new file

good question.. hope I'm not overstepping my bounds by responding..(and I hope I'm right!) 

map { $_ =~ s/\D//g; $_ } split(':',(split(' ',$_))[-1]);

is equivalent to 
my @split_results = split(':',(split(' ',$_))[-1]);
map { $_ =~ s/\D//g; $_ } @split_results;

because map BLOCK LIST has to run the BLOCK for each LIST element (setting each LIST value to $_), it must know what is in that LIST. Hence, the execution of the split(s) before the execution of the BLOCK (and therefore the map).

    Oh, I see. I guess it's the space between map{} and split that threw me off as i'm not used to using map yet :)

    Thanks for nice explanation as well. (I'll ++ you later as I've used up my votes for today already ;)
