That the point of map. It takes a list of inputs, and produces a different list from those inputs. It does so by applying the transformation function (the block or expression) to each input, and collecting the outputs of that function.
Examples:
my @uc = ( uc("abc"), uc("def") );
|
v
my @uc = map { uc($_) } "abc", "def";
my %h = ( "abc" => 1, "def" => 1 );
|
v
my %h = map { $_ => 1 } "abc", "def";

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).
