Hello, All: I'm having a difficult time understanding the map function.
I've got an array of file names that all end in 'jpg' or 'gif'. I'd like to create a parallel array of file names that end in 'html'. I'm creating the array this way... @new_names = map { ($x = $_) =~ s/(jpg|gif)$/html/i; $x } @old_names; Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this? It just doesn't seem elegant assigning $_ to $x, performing the substitution on $x, and then returning $x. -- Eric P.
