Don't fear map and grep, and other list processing best practices

Many beginning Perl programmers don’t understand the map and grep functions and avoid them. But they’re the key to many solutions under the heading of “list processing” and once you become familiar, you’ll start to see lots of opportunities to use them. Let’s demystify these important functions!

This talk is based on a series of blog posts I wrote over the past year or so:

• Better Perl: Using map and grep
• Better Perl: Four list processing best practices with map, grep, and more
• Perl list processing is for hashes, too
• A list of Perl list processing modules

I’ll need to project my MacBook Pro screen. It has HDMI and USB-C/Thunderbolt out.

I’ve been programming Perl since 1994 and blogging about it since 2021.
