In Perl, is it appropriate to use map in void context instead of a foreach loop?

Question

In Perl, if you have a loop like this:

foreach (@items) {
    perform_action($_);
}

you can replace it with a call to map in v

Answer 1

I believe 'Perl Best Practices' would recommend using an explicit variable in the foreach loop as the best style - it is certainly what I'd use.

foreach my $item (@items)
{
    perform_action($item);
}

It is an abuse of map (or grep) to use it in a void context.
