RE (tilly) 2: scalarmap - some new perl syntax

An advantage to $a and $b is that they [utomatically pass strict. (Specifically because of sort.)

This is also a disadvantage, but oh well.

That is why I chose $a and $b, because of the sort magic. I did consider setting $_ to a 2 element anonymous array, then you'd use it like this. `scalarmap { $_->[0] + $_->[1] } 0, @z;` [download] But that isn't as elegant. I considered using $a and $_ but that offended me too! I see from merlyn's post below that the maker of List::Util::reduce came to the same conclusions...	[reply] [d/l]
