NAME

Tie::Diamond - Iterate the diamond operator via a Perl array

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Tie::Diamond;
tie my(@ary), "Tie::Diamond" or die;
while (my ($idx, $item) = each @ary) {
    ...
}

DESCRIPTION

This module lets you iterate the diamond operator via a Perl array.

FAQ

Why?

So you can treat the diamond operator as an array. One of my modules, Data::Unixish, uses this. A function can be passed a real array (to iterate over a Perl array), or a tied array (to iterate lines from STDIN or files mentioned in arguments); they don't have to change their iteration syntax.

Can I do this?

@other = @ary; # or print @ary

Currently no. But since you are slurping all lines anyway, you might as well just do:

@other = <>; # or print <>
