Change some URLs from author dirs to dist dirs. The example in the porter's handbook didn't have the trailing slash; mea culpa for not having caught that when it went in.

This module is meant to be the definitive implementation of iterators, as
|
|
popularized by Mark Jason Dominus's lectures and recent book (Higher Order
|
|
Perl, Morgan Kauffman, 2005).
|
|
|
|
An "iterator" is an object, represented as a code block that generates the
|
|
"next value" of a sequence, and generally implemented as a closure. When
|
|
you need a value to operate on, you pull it from the iterator. If it
|
|
depends on other iterators, it pulls values from them when it needs to.
|
|
Iterators can be chained together (see Iterator::Util for functions that
|
|
help you do just that), queueing up work to be done but not actually doing
|
|
it until a value is needed at the front end of the chain. At that time,
|
|
one data value is pulled through the chain.
|
|
|
|
Iterator.pm provides a class that simplifies creation and use of these
|
|
iterator objects. Other Iterator:: modules (see "SEE ALSO") provide many
|
|
general-purpose and special-purpose iterator functions.
