I agree with you in regards to `grep`, but `map`? It's sole purpose is the modification of `$_`. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No - `map` returns a new list, so changing `$_` makes little sense. Either use a `foreach` if you want to do an inplace modification of a list or return a fresh list and try to keep away from changing the list alias :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, if you take care about the list on the right hand side. But, consider this: `map { s/^.//; } grep { /^[abc]/ } @somewords;` [download] holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]
