I have a 2D array, and I want to return just a "column" of the array. For example,
@ary = ( [1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9] );
So, I want some function that would return (1, 4, 7).
The best I've been able to do is this:
map { $_->[0] } @ary[0..$#ary]
This doesn't seem very "nice," and I don't like the map solution because it isn't terribly suggestive of what the code actually does. Anyone have a better way to do this? Maybe something with hash slices? @ary[0..$#ary][0] doesn't work.

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).
