in reply to Abusing Map

I'm surprised nobody mentioned reduce yet.

Have a look a List::Util and/or List::MoreUtils

update

Sorry reduce is wrong (it returns a scalar) but close ...

update

we had similar discussions before, but I was only able to find "reduce like iterators" yet

Too tired to look further.

    Because that doesn't work to produce the results the op wants.

    So mentioning it would be silly.

    use List::MoreUtils qw( zip6 ); my @b = map { $_->[0] - $_->[1] } zip6 @{[ @a[0..$#a-1] ]}, @{[ @a[1..$#a] ]};
