in reply to CPAN Module Naming Suggestions.

The problem you have written the solution to is 'how do I grep an array one at a time, without going through the whole array'... how about Array::LazyGrep or Array::LazyFind?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm kind of stuck on the findone part of the name.
    (I should have been more clear in my original post. I was thinking more of the toplevel namespace.)
    While it may sound stubborn, but the whole purpose of making this construct (for me) was it was in a proprietary LISP'ish' type language that I used to use and I missed it. (About the only thing I did miss.) The construct just fits the way I think logic.

      Why don't we just add this functionality to Set::Scalar or Set::Array? :)

        I think Set::Array is for arrays that use OO-style methods. Findone doesn't. Actually one of the reasons it came about was seeing if I could make something work like a built-in with context info like between calls ///g without objects or closures.
