Re: hash assignment using map with multiple statements

And also like foreach, we can do hash assignments inside the map.

map { my $val = (split /\//, $_)[-1];
     (my $key = $val) =~ s/\.txt//;
     $testhash1{$key} = $val    
} @teststr;

Why would you do that? Just about everyone who sees map expects that the code is transforming one list into another list, not performing a block of code for each element of a list. There's a perfectly good way to indicate that you're performing a block of code for each element of a list; why make your code less clear?	[reply]
