2) No you cannot break `map grep sort` just because they are not loops! L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

in fact there is a loop (in sort, map, grep) but no internal checks to escape like single match...	[reply]

I dont know perl's internals but i think to those functions as 'list returner'. No loop is involved as in `@array = qw(a b c);` Can you brake the assignement after 'b' is reached? No. The same for map grep and sort. L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
