in thread Non-destructive array processing

In what context would you use the $next variable? It looks to be useful only for setting a first value to return. (Sorta like "Skip the first N values" thingy...)

Is that what it is?

    That's it exactly. Skip the $first n and then give'm to me in chunks of $size after that.
