Isn't it more like 
@temp_list = map { ...1... } ...2....;
print @temp_list;

? The map is done before print sees it, and print is only called once, with a list. It is slower, of course, because you do have an extra list-building step. Interestingly, it is not slower than map in a void context (I'm using 5.8.0 here -- when was that optimized?): 
use Benchmark 'cmpthese';
my @vals = (10_000..15_000);

open(ABYSS, '>', '/dev/null') or die "The abyss is closed.\n";

cmpthese(-2, {
    'map' => sub { print ABYSS map {">>$_<<\n"} @vals },
    'map_void' => sub { map {print ABYSS ">>$_<<\n"} @vals },
    'for' => sub { print ABYSS ">>$_<<\n" for @vals }
});

close ABYSS;
