SYNOPSIS

9         use Class::Iterator;
10         my $it = Class::Iterator->new(\&closure_generator);
11
12         while (my $v = $it->next) { print "value : $v\n" }
13
14         # use map like
15         my $it2 = imap { ...some code with $_...} $it
16         while (my $v = $it->next) { print "value : $v\n" }
17
18         # use grep like
19         my $it3 = igrep { ...some code with $_...} $it
20         while (my $v = $it->next) { print "value : $v\n" }

DESCRIPTION

23       Class::Iterator is a generic iterator object class. It use a closure an
24       wrap into an object interface.
25
26       new(\&closure_generator)
27           This is the constructor. The argument is a sub which look like
28             sub closure_generator {
29               my $private_data;
30               return sub {
31                 # do something with $private_data
32                 # and return it
33                 return $private_data
34               } }

38
39       $o = imap { ... } $it
40           This a creator. It create a new iterator from an existant iterator
41           in the manner of map.
42
43       $o = igrep { ... } $it
44           This a creator. It create a new iterator from an existant iterator
