} [
[ qw/a b c/ ],
[ qw/x y z/ ],
[ 1 .. 7 ],
];

or

MFor->it( 1 .. 7 )->it( 'a' ... 'z' )->do( sub {
# do something
my @args = @_;
});

for my $a ( qw/a b c/ ) {
for my $b ( qw/x y z/ ) {

print "Looping.. " , join(',',$a,$b,$c) , "\n";
}
}
}

mfor

mfor {
my @args = @_; # get a,x,1 in first loop
print "Looping.. " , join(',',@_) , "\n";
} [
[ qw/a b c/ ],
[ qw/x y z/ ],
[ 1 .. 7 ],
];

it

iterator with hash reference

MFor->it({ L1 => qw|a b c| })->it({ L2 => qw|X Y Z| })
->do(sub {
my $args = shift;
print $args->{L1};
print $args->{L2};
});

conditon with iterator

MFor->it({ L1 => qw|a b c| })->when( qw|L1 eq 'a'| )->do( sub {
# only do something when L1 equal to 'a'
my $args = shift;
})
