I'm convinced that map & grep aren't as heavily used as they could be because people don't understand them.

I don't think I agree with the implied premise that map() and grep() should be used more heavily. I'd say they are probably used inappropriately at least as often as appropriate uses for them are missed.

For instance, in the example you gave, you'd probably be better off using a hash to determine common elements.

Update: You should also be more careful to check your benchmarks for correctness. Your "using grep" benchmark doesn't even reference @array1...

Update 2: I also just noticed you are using grep in a scalar context in the unless clause in your "using foreach" sub. That's one of those inappropriate uses of grep I mentioned above...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
