Update: I'd downvote this if I could. My error was thinking $a and $b when
$_ was appropriate.
The recent thread, Better algorithm or data structure?, shows that this behavior of $_ is not well known. It surprised me. It took prompting for this aspect to register (thanks, BrowserUk).
Update: reduced code to the point. This expresses that to which I was referring. Map and grep, like for can, localize $_; this makes this post nonsensical;
## perl 5.10.1
use strict;
use warnings;
my $oo;
my @ary = ( 0, 1, 2, 3);
grep $ary[$_ ], @ary; # no warning
grep $ary[$oo], @ary; # warns
Be well, rir

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).
