Thanks, David. That was an excellent explanation!
As usual, I stumbled across an old thread on PerlMonks after I posted
my question. :\ It was a good read, however, and it's helped to clear up my
understanding of map. If anyone else is interested, it's here:

However, David's response was pretty much everything that was in the
thread, but in a nutshell.
