Re: Variant of map for special-casing the last item

Hmm, tricky. It appears overly verbose and specific

{
  my @list_in_html = map { "<li$_</li>" } @list;
  $list_in_html[-1] =~ s!<li>!<li class="last">!;
}
{
  my @list_in_html = map { "<li$_</li>" } @list[0.. @list - 2];
  push @list_in_html, qq!<li class="last">$list[-1]</li>!;
}

Your solutions look more verbose, and considerably more error-prone. Anyway, sometimes you just really want to do everything in a single map.	[reply]
