oh no, it's much better.  it runs the code block it's given on each
element of the array it's passed and returns the resulting array.

so this:

    @x=(1, 2, 3);
    print(map { $_++ } (@x), "\n");
    print(@x, "\n");

will print:

    234
    123

of course the amazing algorithms you can build with that when you add
in hashes and such are just joyous...
