I felt the same until that day finally came for me. Really, now I
don't know what kept me from grokking map!
map rules, and i use it all the time when manipulating nested hashrefs.
Why? because it's otherwise hard to code clean and simple "look at
and understand" hashref data structure manipulation. map is a good
tool for doing complex transformations on the fly, i.e. as you
iterate/sort/whatever through hash keys and data.
