Great. And now for some reason to use List::oo.
I mean ... WHY would anyone want to write
print L(qw(a b c))->map(sub {"|$_|"})->join(' '), "\n";
instead of
print join( ' ', map {"|$_|"} qw(a b c)), "\n";
or
print join( ' ', map "|$_|", qw(a b c)), "\n";
(or in this particular case
print "|", join( '| |', qw(a b c)), "|\n";
) ?
You do not write
$x->sin()->sqrt()
if you want the square root of the sinus of $x.
(Unless the language was designed by an OO purist of course.)
