Dear monks,

I've got a problem with reverse in map: 

C:\ce3\bin>perl -w
my @list = qw(abc2 abc3 abc1 abc0);
my @list2 = map { my $r = reverse($_); $r } @list; # scalar context
print "@list2";
^Z
2cba 3cba 1cba 0cba
C:\ce3\bin>

The code above works as I want it to work: it reverses every element in the list as string. But this code below doesn't reverse the strings: 
C:\ce3\bin>perl -w
my @list = qw(abc2 abc3 abc1 abc0);
my @list2 = map { reverse($_) } @list;
print "@list2";
^Z
abc2 abc3 abc1 abc0

I think, in the second example, the reverse-function is somehow used in list-context, not in scalar context. Is this a perl bug, or am I the bug (as usual)?

I've run these codes under Activestateperl 631 (Win2k) and Perl 5.005_03 under Solaris.

Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"
