I'm curious why you chose to use map here. I've used arrays of qr!! (Parse Loops with flat text files. (code)), and I also think I have a good sense of when map is appropriate (Sort a long list of hosts by domain (code)). But in some cases, using map seems to be either obfuscation or bloat for the sake of shorter code.

Observe: 

# timtowtdi...
foreach ( qw{ ^abcd cd[ef]g cat$ } ) { push @array, qr{$_} };

# shorter still ...
push @array, qr{$_} for qw{ ^abcd cd[ef]g cat$ };

# or the way I think is most clear and most sane....
@array = ( qr{^abcd}, qr{cd[ef]g}, qr{cat$} );

Isn't there additional overhead from calling map? Some people are frenzied map lovers. And in some cases, it is the most appropriate way to do something. I just dont see why you used it here.

Enlighten me?
