So using map as it SHOULD be used (heh), what would you have @a
contain after:
@a = map { last if $_ > 5; $_ } 1..10;
Would it be 1..5, 1..6, 1..10, whatever it had before, or ()? I could
make arguments for each of them. :)
I think making that *not* a looping block makes more sense, so we
don't get into this nonsense. The "last" cleanly breaks out of the
innermost loopblock, which by definition doesn't have a return value,
so there's no chance we'll freak out an assignment.
