in reply to Problem emulating built-ins like map and grep.

It's a parsing issue. You'll find this works: 
map2 sub { print "$a $b" }, qw[A B C D];

Update: 
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-linux

    With ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 build 633 on Win2K, this doesn't work. It compiles fine, but map2 just receives an empty list as the second argument.
