... say this, than using extra grep {}.

        print join(";", 
                map { 
                        ($_ eq lc($_)) ? "a/$_" : ()
                } ("a", "b", "C", "d")),
                "\n";

Now this loop got an expensive way to say %mapping = @mapping
plus assigning @mapping_keys, so I would do only the push part
in the loop for readability while changing the name of the
variable a bit more meaningful.

	my %mapping = @mapping;
        my @valid_params;
	for (my $i = 0; $i < @mapping; $i += 2) {
	        push @valid_params, $mapping[$i];
	}

But aside from that, I very much prefer your version that loops
over what _we_ define (i.e. @valid_params), rather than what the
user happens to throw at us (i.e. keys %params).
