NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitVoidMap


DESCRIPTION

map and grep are intended to be pure functions, not mutators. If you want to iterate with side-effects, then you should use a proper for or foreach loop.

  grep{ print frobulate($_) } @list;           #not ok
  print map{ frobulate($_) } @list;            #ok
  grep{ $_ = lc $_ } @list;                    #not ok
  for( @list ){ $_ = lc $_  };                 #ok
  map{ push @frobbed, frobulate($_) } @list;   #not ok
  @frobbed = map { frobulate($_) } @list;      #ok
