While we are all in a post-mortem mood, could someone explains
to me, in simple words of no more than two syllables, why
stuff like
map y|w|y|, sort @a;
changes the values of @a? I was under the impression that sort returned
the sorted values and no references to the original array. I had
been using that trick for at least three solutions when the realisation
of what I was doing sank in (realisation that was of course
quickly followed by a heart-felt 'what in Dante's brimstone-infested
third hell...'). I am still puzzled...
Joy,
