my @odds = map { $_ % 2 != 0 } @array;
That's not going to do what you think. Consider the following:-
johngg@abouriou:~$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
say for map { $_ % 2 != 0 } 0 .. 10;'

The alternating blanks and ones are registering the FALSE and TRUE results of the expression in the map, which essentially has a one to one relation between input on the right and output on the left. What you should be using instead is grep which filters input, only passing to the left those items for which the expression is TRUE.
johngg@abouriou:~$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
say for grep { $_ % 2 != 0 } 0 .. 10;'

Note also that you could dispense with the != 0 as the expression $_ % 2 will evaluate to either 0 or 1.
johngg@abouriou:~$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
say for grep { $_ % 2 } 0 .. 10;'

I hope this is helpful.

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).
