in reply to precedence: two functions on one line

Parentheses are mostly harmless, so you should use them when in doubt, or even when not in doubt, just to make things plain and visible.

Now, as for your problem:

$path = "/usr/local/bin/foobar/";
@file = map { "$path/$_.html" } qw/ a b c d e f /;

    I can't change the data as this is part of a larger application that expects $tracker to be a scalar. However, This variation on what you posted does exactly what I want, and on a single line too! 
    @files = map { "$path$_" } split /<br>\n/, $tracker;

    Must go meditate on the mysteries of the map function. Thanks!

      map's great. Here's another example, to aid the old meditations: 
      $tracker = join "", map {"$_.html<br>\n"} ('a'..'f');

      - although frankly it's more readable as a here doc!
