Now that what it is is clearer to me, the amazing thing about it is actually Perl. The fact that you can chain the three stages together like that without the rigidity of traditional list based languages is really nice.
On a related note, I know that you can chain the word "and" 5 times in a row in a gramatically correct English sentance - what's the most number of "is"s that people can chain together? I can do 3.
Yes I know it's not really related, but I can never write a sentance with "is is" without then wondering :)

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).
