I noodled around with this. So, the best I can tell, this makes iterating over files a two step process. First I have to create the iterator and then I have to loop over it? Something like this: 

  my $iterator = $fc->scan_blah_files;
  while ($iterator->next_file) {
    my $file = $iterator->selected_file;
    print $file . "\n";
  }
}

I rewrote it a bit to keep the get/next terminology: 

sub AUTOLOAD {
  our $AUTOLOAD;
  my $s = shift;
  $AUTOLOAD  =~ /.*::get(_next)*(_\w+)*_files*$/ or
    croak "No such method: $AUTOLOAD";
  my ($next, $type) = ($1, $2);

  if ($next) {                                      # create an iterat
+or
    my $class = ref($s) . '::Iterator';
    if (!$type) {                                   
      return $class->new($s->get_files);            # iterator for all
+ files
    } else {
      return $class->new(@{$s->{$type.'_files'}});  # iterator for fil
+e subset
    }
  } else {                                        
    return @{$s->{$type.'_files'}};                 # return file subs
+et
  }
}
