Hello and welcome at the most ... ehm ... simple pontiff cooking question of this decade:

What do we need? We need a simple iterator: 

sub iterate {
  my $code = shift;
  my $back = TRUE;

  for(@_) {
    if(&$code($_) == FALSE) {
      $back = FALSE;
    }
  }

  return $back;
}

a simple call to this iterator: 
&iterate(\&attach,@param);

Yeah! This works. Great. No surprises here.

And now some unfortunate OO efforts - such as making attach the method of an object. 

my $rep = Module->new();

[download]
And then

we try pitifully to reference this method: 

&iterate($rep->attach(),@param);      # ?? No
&iterate(\$rep->attach(),@param);     # ?? Noooo
&iterate(\{$rep->attach()},@param);   # ?? Hehe...

Ok. So questions. Howto? Bad design? (Well the iteration is fairly generic and doesn't hurt any encapsulation). The camel book desn`t help here much, it just states "be nice". Damians OO book didn't mention it (at least I didn't find it).
