> Yes, do on the outside always scans better, its like creating a sub and calling it immediately, (sub { ... })->(); except prettier :)

To avoid misunderstandings: It's similar but not identical!

DB<106> sub tst { (sub { return 5 })->(); return 10 } DB<107> tst() => 10 DB<108> sub tst { do { return 5 }; return 10 } DB<109> tst() => 5

Like with map and grep is the block following do not an anonymous sub!

    "Like" means "similar" I think dictionary can agree!

    Like with map and grep is the block following do is not an anonymous sub!

    Of course we're discussing looks!

      > I think dictionary can agree!

      Nope, check dictionary for "like...except..." .
