in thread Perl's functional features compared with Ruby

It's possible that I don't know what I don't know. ;) ...or that I don't know enough about what "built-in support for lists" means to two different authors coming from different language backgrounds, so you're probably right that I'm falling into a definition trap.

There are enough fundamental differences between the two languages that paradigms differ, so it's hard to pin down exactly how their features overlap. I suspect that MJD's opinion would differ from Norvig, and I can't hope to bring them together.
