 Please refrain from making this thread I know more Perl than

Sorry. Just trying to help, but suitably chastened.

Thanks

 I realize that what you sent was not _too_ Perlish and being
 helpful.  If you feel I overreacted, I am sorry; I _do_ think I
 did overreact, attempting to be preemptive.

No, I don't think you overreacted. Well, maybe a _little_ bit. ;)

I think you're focused on making git good (as in reliable and
maintainable), and that strong focus is admirable.

Your clarification on the expected developer profile, and how to target
the code to those developers helps, too.

For those of us who've spent years living in Perl, the idioms come much
easier than those who are coming from other languages like C. But if
the expected maintainers are not perl weenies (like me, I guess), then
you're right, it's better to stay away from the more perl-y stuffy.

Again, thanks.

 Well, it was kind of annoying to see the same email address appear 2-3
 times in the email, because of the way I pull in all the relevant emails
 from various places.  So I really needed a way to cull the duplicates.
 I don't believe ordering is really significant in To: or Cc: lines, for
 really anyone.  I could do soemthing like this, instead, I suppose:
 
   my @clean_to = ();
   my %dupe_check_to = ();
   foreach my $to_entry (@to) {
   if (!$dupe_check_to{Email::Valid-address($to_entry)}++) {
   push @clean_to, $to_entry;
   }
   }
 
   my $to = join(, , @clean_to);
 
 I just like the first one a little better (though, I can't really pin
 down why).

Or, more simply (if perl'y):

  my %tmp;
  @to = grep { ! $tmp{Email::Valid-address($_)}++ } @to;

...although I'd probably defensively localize the temporary var:

  {
my %tmp;
@to = grep { ! $tmp{Email::Valid-address($_)}++ } @to;
  }
