Re: Problem emulating built-ins like map and grep.

It's a known misfeature that you can only pass a real array to &@, not a list of parameters.

Wrong. You're talking about the `\@` prototype, which makes Perl insist on seeing a `@` sigil, and automatically takes a reference to that array before passing it to the function. You can still pass in lists by way of a construct like `@{[foo_list()]}`. It's exactly the same situation as with push et al. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
