Uhm, yes. That's the point of a map, isn't? And perhaps you haven't realized it, all foreach blocks are evaluated for each element of the list as well.

I'm referring to how map takes the result, the final statement, of each block and passes it on to the resulting list. Judging by your next statement, you understood perfectly what I was saying but still choose to be smartass anyway:

Yeah, neat, isn't? That's the point of map, you know.

But I understand what you are saying. It's utterly unclear to write a map this way. After all, it's also unclear to return a result from a subroutine; it's much clearer if the subroutine explicitly assigns the return value to a variable. All well written programs do.

Nice contrived example to try to prove your point. The subroutine equivalent would be leaving off the return statement and letting the last statement implicitly be the return value:

sub ringForward {
    ...

    $modem->send($tone, $duration);
}

sub ringForward {
    ...

    return $modem->send($tone, $duration);
}

But I guess one is just as clear as the other, right? You can easily tell whether or not you can check the return value just from looking at either one, right?
