Then again, you might want to use a for loop:

for (@theInfo) { [put your substitution here] }

AFAIK, the difference between map and for in this case is that map creates
a temporary array for the return value, and for has no return value.  I
remember there being some religious discussion in the newsgroup about this
issue (when to use for vs. map).
