10,20,30,40

Is this how the pros would do this?
$ perl -we 'print join ",", map($_*10,(1..10))'
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100
Simpler ways would get an extra comma, or be meant for non gappy lists.

You could get rid of all those needless parentheses to shorten your line
a little bit.

$ perl -we'print+join",",map$_*10,1..10'

Alternatively, you could use grep() instead of map(). Sure, You need the
same number of characters to type -- it's just another way to doing the
same thing (remember, TIMTOWTDI ;-).

$ perl -we'print+join",",grep/0/,1..100'

But I think this is not as efficient as your first thought. My last idea
is to set $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR (»$,«, look into `perldoc perlvar` for
details) to a suitable value, to save one more character ;-)

$ perl -we'$,=",";print+map$_*10,1..10'
$ perl -we'$,=",";print+grep/0/,1..100'

If you're inquring about "perl golf", then the best I could do was:

$ perl -e '$,="0,";print 1..10,"\b"'

Just because my windows shell doesn't like the deleting "\b" so much and
there is no need to print out more characters than really desired:

$ perl -e 'print+join("0,",1..10),0'

But I like your idea.

Q:... when I tried to cut-n-paste it into my WIN: ActiveState I got the
following Error Message, & don't know why ???

D:\study\perl\WIP>perl -we 'print join ",", map($_*10,(1..10))'
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

- thanks & take care M.D.

That's because the Windoze command line processor doesn't
recognize ' as a quoting character, but does recognize ".  Try:

perl -we "print join ',',map $_*10,1..10"

That is a Windoze issue, not a Perl issue, except for how it
botches up Perl one-liners.

Bob,

Thanks for your input, and setting me straight on Double Quotes .vs. Single
Quotes
in WINders, etc.

Seems like you even beat the Relay Chat folks too !!!

IRC - UnderNet - #perl

[18:08] < tomatoe > I was reading some of the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup

[19:37] < black-ice > tomatoe: on windows use " not ' for -e perl lines
[19:37] < black-ice > so, that means you will need to fix the "" inside the
oneliner as well.
[19:38] < black-ice > so perl -we "print join ',',map($_*10,(1..10))"

...

D:\study\perl\WIP>perl -we "print join ',',map($_*10,(1..10))"
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100

[21:45] < tomatoe > ty black-ice, Quotes " on the outside, & singleQuote on
the inside ' worked

- take care M.D.
