I think the short answer is:
this is a good thing for the moment.
perldoc -f map
if that does the 'fast make of a hash or list' from a list
that works for you - great - otherwise you are
really missing nothing... stay with the for/foreach
iterators - since those seem to do the work just as
well, and are easier on most folks to understand.

{ the elephants seem to be stomping around about
the use in a 'void context' - and this seems to be
a return to the old debates about whether one must
always check the return value from all functions...
which in this case is a 'list' }
{ my complements to both tagore and bob for taking
the time to point out the argument that has clearly
been in existence for a while - and actually precedes
perl as a coding language....}
