in reply to Re^5: map and return
in thread map and return

I did not use the "CORE::" prefix when I tested. I too get your results when I do.

In any case the main point still holds: both map and sort according to your machine (and mine) have an undefined prototype. The fact of an undefined prototype does not provide an explanation of the different behavior. I only wish it were that simple. But thanks, anyway, for your help.

Best, beth

    sort actually calls a sub. In fact, you can actually pass a sub name. map is like while. No subs are involved.
