Array::Iterator::Reusable - A subclass of Array::Iterator to allow reuse of iterators

  use Array::Iterator::Reusable;

  # create an iterator with an array
  my $i = Array::Iterator::Reusable->new(1 .. 100);

  # do something with the iterator
  my @accumulation;
  push @accumulation => { item => $iterator->next() } while $iterator->hasNext();

  # now reset the iterator so we can do it again
  $iterator->reset();

Sometimes you don't want to have to throw out your iterator each time you have exhausted it. This class adds the reset method to allow reuse of an iterator. This is a very simple addition to the Array::Iterator class of a single method.

This is a subclass of Array::Iterator, only those methods that have been added are documented here, refer to the Array::Iterator documentation for more information.

reset

This resets the interal counter of the iterator back to the start of the array.

None that I am aware of, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it.

See the CODE COVERAGE section of the Array::Iterator documentation for information about the code coverage of this module's test suite.

This is a subclass of Array::Iterator, please refer to it for more documenation.
