Marty Pauly - Writing Better Perl

Some Perl Idioms

The next section of the talk covered some perl idioms, such as:

map {chomp;$_} @a; ........... chomp @a;
@val = map {$h{$_}} @key; .... @val = @h{@key};

These allow the C side of Perl to take over and do alot more work for you. This also has the benefit of being easier to read and faster.
