Ok, well here it is, corrected for that, and without using coderefs for streams. I realized there really wasn't much point to that. All I really need to know is what my multiplier is, and which element of the output stream I'm looking at.

use strict;
use warnings;

sub lazy_ham {
    my ($how_many) = @_;
    my @output_stream = (1);
    my @streams = map [$_,0], (2, 3, 5);
    for (@output_stream+1..$how_many) {
        # Find the lowest next item in the available streams
        my @peeks = map  {$output_stream[$_->[1]] * $_->[0]} @streams;
        my ($lowest) = sort {$a <=> $b} @peeks;
        $peeks[$_] == $lowest and $streams[$_][1]++ for 0..$#streams;
        push(@output_stream, $lowest);
    }
    @output_stream;
}

print join(', ', lazy_ham(80)), "\n";

• 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).
