map! Map! MAP! I love it. I have never used it, and now I'm thinking of all of the extra lines of code I've written over time to do what a simple map does!!!
Thank you!
I think I have a new favorite widget for the week!

Comment on RE: RE: My favorite looping mechanism in Perl is:
This is the same reaction I had when I discovered map :-) I'm not sure if it is a real looping mechanism (technically speaking): if you check the manpage it says "map - apply a change to a list to get back a new list with the changes". Anyway I think it is very powerful, and very beautiful, and I use whenever I can!
