map in void context is no longer a sin, but still it can't be used lightly instead of for, which is 25% faster than map.

It has been a great improvement from previous versions, though.

use Benchmark;

print "Perl $]\n";

timethese (10000,{
    "map"=> sub { map { $_ } ( 1 .. 1000 ) },
    "for"=> sub { $_ for ( 1 .. 1000 ) }
}
);

__END__
