That's what i wanted. My output:

karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ ./1115111.pl
30 26 3 46 23
10 45 47 1 39
8 11 19 49 36
15 22 29 37 18
13 50 44 25 42

This are five cycles with five numbers.

Please correct me if i miss something.

Update: But i I surrender:

Alternate version:


for ( 1 .. 5 ) {
    my @five = $iterator->();
    say join " ", @five;
}
