For the record you have my full support on the use of map in void context. I use if quite often and even find a certain pleasure knowing that it would not pass a certain guru [perlmonks.org]'s code reviews ;--).

I didn't think much about it because I didn't know the optimization was supposed to have been done. Plus we all found shorter solutions later on that didn't have the memory problem.

I second that as well, in fact map in void context should be compulsory in Perl code to decide whether it's any good ;)
The only time I've been bitten by it is on one of those occasions when I threw a map in naturally, only to notice later that a for loop would have been much simpler. But that's trivial to fix...
