Re^4: How a for() assignment works

"uncouth" was the language used in the O.P's post.

Thanks for the update on the "map" update. Even with that in mind, I'm sure most programmers would agree that "for" is preferable when the return value is unused, since that usage is better understood, and you do not need to look around to verify that the context is indeed void.

"map", for me, immediately brings into question what is being done with the returned value.

I tend to use `for` as well. On the other hand, `map` is one of those really useful features in Perl so maybe trying to use it more often so I get more used to it is a good idea.	[reply]
