Aside from the syntax, is there a difference in the way 'map' and
'foreach' process?

Yes. map is an expression. foreach is a statement. foreach can't
be nested inside a larger expression. map is *meant* to do that,
and using it in a void

foreach is just a loop. map returns values. Specifically, it returns
the value of the BLOCK/EXPR for each iteration of the loop.
my @doubles = map {

There are many differences, in addition to what has already been said
map can be more or less cpu efficient than depending on the task*. If
you can use map

Hi Dan
Internally they're very similar, but you shouldn't be thinking like that.
As Randal said, foreach is a statement - a language construct like 'if',
'while', 'else' and so on - while
Both map and foreach can do the same thing,though they're used in
different syntax environment.
I follow a rule,if you need to return a result list,use map.Otherwise
use for/foreach.
Also sometime we can use map to do some flexible translation,like
Schwartz Translation.

That's a new one for me. Are you trying to say Schwartzian Transform?
