Here's a version that approximates your desired usage without gotos or source filters, and it's not obfuscated, IMO. Each yield section gets its own sub, and they're all wrapped in a sub that sets up the variables for the coroutine scope.
use warnings;
use strict;
package Coroutine;
sub prototype {
my $class = shift;
bless shift(), $class;
}
sub instance {
my $self = shift;
my @sections = $self->(@_);
return sub {
return () unless @sections;
(shift @sections)->(@_);
}
}
package main;
my $coroutine = Coroutine->prototype(
sub {
my $foo = shift;
my @bar = @_;
(
sub {
print "1st section:\n";
print " $_\n" for @bar;
return $foo++;
},
sub {
print "2nd section:\n";
print " $foo\n";
return rand() > .5 ? 'weird' : ++$foo;
},
sub {
print "3rd section:\n";
print " The end is near - goodbye cruel ";
return pop @bar;
}
)
}
);
my $wacky = $coroutine->instance(42, 'hello', 'world');
print "returned($_)\n" while ($_ = $wacky->());
print "Resetting...\n";
$wacky = $coroutine->instance('another', 'time', 'through');
print "returned($_)\n" while ($_ = $wacky->());
__END__

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).
