Re^2: Applying an array to a function

Since you were trying to simplify the code, it should be noted that

  my $array = [];
  @{$array} = ($x) x $n;
  return $array;
[download]

is a complicated way of writing

  my @array = ($x) x $n;
  return \@array;
[download]

  my $array = [ ($x) x $n ];
  return $array;
[download]

  return [ ($x) x $n ];
[download]

I use haskell a lot lately and it is nice to see that your last version is very close to how you can implement repeat into haskell: `repeat a = [a,a..]` [download] Perl can be a really concise language. It astonish me time after time. I am really looking forward to perl6. (In haskell it is an infinite list, how is this in perl6?) I got the answer already. Perl6 is also lazy evaluated, so infinite lists are supported.	[reply] [d/l]
