NAME

Acme::Lambda - Perl with lambdas!

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Acme::Lambda brings the power of lambda to perl! It exports lambda and λ subroutines that take a code block and return it.

use Acme::Lambda;

my $square = lambda { $_ * $_ };
print $square->(4);         # 16

use utf8;
my $cube = λ {$_ * $_ * $_};
print $cube->(3);           # 27

# The sub can also access its full argument list through @_
my $add = lambda {$_[0] + $_[1] } ;

print $add->(3,4);          # 7

EXPORT

By default, lambda and λ.

use Acme::Lambda(); to avoid exports.
