The  $count counter is not needed because the  natatime() iterator is exhausted after completely iterating over its list. (Such a counter would be needed if you wanted to stop short of iterator exhaustion.)

c:\@Work\Perl>perl -wMstrict -le "use List::Util 'shuffle'; use List::MoreUtils qw(natatime); ;; my $iterator = natatime 5, shuffle 1 .. 50; ;; while (my @five = $iterator->()) { print qq{@five}; } ;; print '---------'; while (my @five = $iterator->()) { print qq{@five}; } " 47 16 22 40 27 14 8 35 36 21 46 43 9 42 17 31 2 18 33 24 11 1 44 7 3 38 49 41 25 39 15 37 29 12 5 23 45 10 6 26 20 19 28 50 34 32 13 4 30 48 ---------
