Advice? I prefer my first version for when I come back later.
Not sure whether you want opinions on what other people would find preferable, or what we think that you should use.
In case of the latter, I think you've already answered the question yourself. If you find the procedural version easier to understand, then by all means stick with it — unless maybe you're anticipating that some potential future maintainer is going to have less difficulties with the functional variant.
Personally, I think the functional style sometimes allows to express things more compactly (and thus it's less/easier to parse for those familiar with the style), but there's no point in using map and grep just for the sake of using them...

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).
