one liner to add string to all elements of array?

alienhuman has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hiya Monks,

I've got an array:

@quarter_list    # looks like 12-31-2003,2003-09-30,2003-06-30,2003-03
+-31
[download]

But I want to add the string " 00:00:00" to each element of @quarter_list. So it ends up looking like:

12-31-2003 00:00:00,2003-09-30 00:00:00, ... etc
[download]

I feel certain there must be a slick one-liner to accomplish this, but my brain ain't working yet today. Can anyone with a functional perlbrain help me out?

----------

Using perl 5.6.1 unless otherwise noted.
Apache 1.3.27 unless otherwise noted.
Redhat 7.1 unless otherwise noted.

`@quarter_list = map { "$_ 00:00:00" } @quarter_list; # OR # $_ .= " 00:00:00" for @quarter_list;` [download] Take your pick. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.
