in thread Expression form of map or grep

In the code as shown, "map" just melds in the array reference construction. Perhaps that is what you prefer.

I personally would either make a temporary variable to hold the map result; or rearrange the code to highlight map function. On the second note ... 

'troll' => [ 'troll',
             map( "$_ troll",
                  qw(desert freshwater giant ice saltwater snow spectr
+al),
                  'two-headed'
                ),
             'trobold',
             @$tralg,
             @$throglin
           ]

    I could spread it out, but there are almost 100 lists like it in the module. That is almost 100 lines Perl::Critic does not like too.

    My OS is Debian 10 (Buster); my perl versions are 5.28.1 local and 5.16.3 or 5.30.0 on web host depending on the shebang.

    No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!

      Why do you care about number of lines for their own sake? The example had 1 single statement; after spreading that out, there was still only 1 statement.

      The added whitespace out was not for Perl::Critic. It was for my own sake, and for any future maintainer including myself, to make it easier to see that the array reference was not just a plain word list.

        Would you accept that I do not like scrolling and use the syntax highlighter to keep sane? 8)
