That's better. I didn't know about this trick. Patch will follow.
BTW. I have encountered this error in true situation, while doing history
pagination because I forgot in parse_difftree_raw_line that the
map(function, list) works only for prototyped functions, and had undef fed
to href.

So perhaps
my %mapping = @mapping;
my @params_keys_sorted;
for (my $i = 0; $i < @mapping; $i += 2) {
if (exists $params{$mapping[$i]}) {
push @params_keys_sorted, $mapping[$i];
}
}
This way we have only one loop over all valid parameter names,
and we wouldn't need grep nor conditional expression in map,
and map would loop over all (valid) params keys only.
