This article discusses how support for the Perl functions map, grep, and sort has evolved across recent Perl versions, highlighting key features and improvements.

# Example of using map, grep, and sort in Perl

# Using map to double each element in an array
my @numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
my @doubled = map { $_ * 2 } @numbers;

# Using grep to filter even numbers
my @even_numbers = grep { $_ % 2 == 0 } @numbers;

# Using sort to sort an array of strings
my @fruits = ("orange", "apple", "banana", "grape");
my @sorted_fruits = sort @fruits;

print "Doubled: @doubled\n";           # Output: Doubled: 2 4 6 8 10
print "Even Numbers: @even_numbers\n"; # Output: Even Numbers: 2 4
print "Sorted Fruits: @sorted_fruits\n"; # Output: Sorted Fruits: apple banana grape orange
