Sometimes, no loop is needed at all:

chomp( my @list = <$fh> );

When using readline, it's probably not so serious, as you aren't changing the original array in place at the same time.

The /r is useful when you want to keep the original:

my @ids = map s/ /_/gr, 
          grep defined,
          @base;

When you want to modify the original array, use "for" instead.

for (@$list) {
    if (ref) {
        ...
    } else {
        $_ = ...;
    }
}

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
