Or you use closures to turn call-backs into iterators. Here I've altered the API a smidge because the original code used chdir() during the loop which is probably an unexpected side-effect. For anyone that is interested - Dominus is writing an excellent book on iterators and it includes a section on transforming recursive calls somewhat thusly. Here's a link to the book's web page (which you must all now go out and buy (when it is published)).

BTW - this doesn't explain continuations at all - I'm just presenting a different perl5-accessible solution to the problem that tye posed.

my $find = find('', ''); while (my $file = $find->()) { print join('/', @$file)."\n"; } sub find { my @todo = shift; my @results; return sub { while (@todo and not @results) { my $subdir = shift @todo; $subdir = "." if ! defined $subdir or $subdir eq ''; $subdir .= "/" if $subdir =~ m{[^/]$}; my @files= ( glob("$subdir.*"), glob("$subdir*") ); for my $file ( @files ) { next if $file =~ /\.\.?$/; if( ! -l $file && -d _ ) { push @todo, \ $file; } push @results, [ $subdir, substr($file,length($subdir) +) ]; } } return shift @results; }; }

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
