rje has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So, one of the first things I learned about when I first
came to perlmonks is map. It immediately struck me as
being yet another example of LISP bleeding over to perl.

So I was wondering if you can code in purely 'functional' perl?
Has anyone tried? And when I say functional programming, I
mean non-one-liners. map makes me think this might be
possible. Has anyone out there done it? Are there examples
posted out there?
