NAME
Iterator::Flex::Manual::Alien - Interfacing with non- Iterator::Flex things.
VERSION
version 0.18
DESCRIPTION
Iterator::Flex provides transparent access to iterators available on CPAN (see Iterator::Flex::Manual::PriorArt), as well as things which are iterable, such as arrays (or objects which act like arrays), or globrefs (or objects which act like them), or objects which provide iterator methods.
For these, "iter" in Iterator::Flex::Common is the family-friendly front end; under the hood "construct_from_iterable" in Iterator::Flex::Factory does the heavy lifting.
There's also Iterator::Flex::ArrayLike, which interfaces to objects which can provide a length and an element accessor.
INTERNALS
UNDER THE HOOD
Other iterators
Interfacing is accomplished by creating a proxy iterator which translates
Invocation
Exhaustion signalling
and forwards other capability invocations to the source iterator.
Invocation
Some iterators are objects which are invoked via a method call, others are code references which can be called directly. Iterator::Flex always works with code references, so in the former case, a closure must be created.
