I would have said "Functional Programming".
There's an FAQ about closures
% perldoc -q closure
With quite a bit of good information. It's also worth mentioning
the fact that our grep() and map() come from FP -- and if you've

Haskell tutorial could be really helpful.
Or it might confuse you further; YMMV.
