List::MoreUtils offers a similar functionality:

use strict;
use warnings;
use List::MoreUtils qw/natatime/;

my @array = qw(a b c e 1 2 3 4 5 3 f);

my $it = natatime 3, @array;
while ( my @vals = $it->() ) {
    print "@vals\n";
}

Output:

a b c
e 1 2
3 4 5
3 f

BTW - I use this for generating multi-line output...

Here's another option for multi-line output (generated from a single line):

use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Wrap;

$Text::Wrap::columns = 18;

my $text = <<END;
BTW - I use this for generating multi-line output - tables and such.
END

print wrap("  ", '', $text);

Output:

Hope this is helpful.
