Abigail,
If you use a ternary where it branches to the empty list or a do block for each place there is a next statement, then I will buy it doing the same thing. 
# contrived example
my @paragraph;
for ( @lines ) {
    next if /^#/;
    $_ = lc $_;
    $_ =~ tr/ -~//cd;
    next if /foobar/;
    $_ =~ s/administration/admin/g;
    next if length $_ > 60;
    push @paragraph, $_;
}

This IMO would be insane for a map block. I stand corrected on the ternary/empty list/do block being functionally equivalent though in sacked's original example there was no do block.

Cheers - L~R
