Dear Monks Most of the time map surprises me, it always generates output I don't expect. This time however it goes beyond this. Here is my test code: #! /usr/bin/perl -l
use strict;
use warnings ;
my @arr = qw(1 2 3 4 5) ;
my %h = map { "$_" => "$_" } @arr ;
print "$_ --> $h{$_}" foreach ( keys %h ) ;
Which returns syntax error at ./t.pl line 7, near "} @arr "
Execution of ./t.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
However when I change the map-line into:
my %h = map { $_."" => "$_" } @arr ; it works and produces
4 --> 4
1 --> 1
3 --> 3
2 --> 2
5 --> 5
This is truly map magic for me! Anyone out there who has already walked this path ?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
