"lose" the quotes, you mean. I think the trouble is your thinking the map
will create a list of strings and so the quotes will auto-magically
disappear. But they don't as they are, in this case, just chars. in the
string. If you just print the map list:
print (map { split(/=/, $_, 2) } @array, "\n");
you get the 4 strings quotes and all:
foo1"bar1"foo2"bar2"
better shown maybe as:
print (join(", ", map { split(/=/, $_, 2) } @array), "\n");
foo1, "bar1", foo2, "bar2"
You could remove the quotes yourself:
my %hash = (map { s/"//g; split(/=/, $_, 2); } @array);
The map body is a code block, so you can do more than one thing - just need
to have the last line be the one that returns your expected list. I'm
guessing there's something more to the process here.
