You can also complicate it to avoid the loop (in fact, disguise it as a repetition) and the
// operator:
push @{ $h{$_} }, shift @B for (@A, reverse @A) x (@B / @A / 2),
(@A, reverse @A)[ 0 .. @B % (2 * @A) -
+1 ];
Update: Another idea:
for my $i (0 .. $#A) {
$h{ $A[$i] } = [ @B[ grep { my $m = $_ % (2 * @A);
grep $_ == $m, $i, 2 * @A - $i - 1
} 0 .. $#B ] ];
}
TIMTOWTDI, an iterator:
my $iter = do {
my ($pos, $step) = ('0E0', 1);
sub {
my $r = $H{ $A[$pos] } ||= [];
if ($pos % $#A || $pos =~ /E/) {
$pos += $step;
} else {
$pos .= 'E0';
$step *= -1;
}
return $r
}
};
push @{ $iter->() }, $_ for @B;

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).
