This will not work:
print "@a\n" if List::Util::first { 0 == $_ } @a
When using first as a condition, it's best to wrap it in a defined() to specifically check for the 'not found' case:
# this always works
print "@a\n" if defined(List::Util::first { defined($_) && 0 == $_ } @
+a);
OTOH, I agree that first clobbers the predicate when checking for undef -- i.e. we can't tell if we found undef:
# doesn't work
print "@a\n" if defined(List::Util::first { !defined($_) } @a);

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).
