Re: What would you do?

I get the same result with:

# set even numbered elements of the list to hi<br>
map { $list [$_ * 2] = 'hi'; } (0..$#list/2);<br><br>

I am wondering if there is any difference in efficiency for Perl?
I did find two $_'s is one line of code very edifying.

This is effectively the same thing as bjelli's solution above, with a map instead of a for, and no temporary variable. It is somewhat less efficient due to the use of map in a void context, which is usually considered bad programming practice.	[reply]
