in thread Map: Thou Has't Confounded Me For The Last Time! (Referring To The Array You Are Assigning To In Map)

I'm pretty sure neither of those solutions will work. As the OP stated, the problem is that map returns a list; you are assigning an array to that value. Thus,  %res or  @_ is not populated until the map returns the whole list (unless you've inserted some magic I'm unaware of.)

    That's right, and I've said as much (is waiting for map (a list operator) to return a list).

    Nope, just being funny (which is inately magical).
