Transform a list based on odd/even-ness of index

my $t = 1;
map { ($t^=1) ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } LIST

[download]
my $t = 1;
map { ($t = 1-$t) ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } LIST

[download]
my $t = 1;
map { (++$t % 2) ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } LIST

[download]
map { $_%2 ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } 0..$#ARRAY

Example: 

>perl -le"$t=1; print map { ($t^=1) ? uc : lc } qw( a b c d e );"

>perl -le"$t=1; print map { ($t=1-$t) ? uc : lc } qw( a b c d e );"
