As previously written, I like list processing. Many computing problems can be broken down into transforming and filtering lists, and Perl has got the fundamentals covered with functions like map
, grep
, and sort
. There is so much more you might want to do, though, and CPAN has a plethora of list and array processing modules.
However, due to the vicissitudes of Perl module maintenance, we have a situation where it’s not clear at a glance where to turn when you’ve got a list that needs processing. So here’s another list: the list modules of CPAN. Click through to discover what functions they provide.
