That made me want to implement it. Ironically, I don't have 5.10 installed yet, and there are a few features that would be appropriate here. Note that I reversed the result list, so that the order is key/value, like hash-each is.
use strict; use warnings; BEGIN { my %state; sub a_each(\@) { my $aref = shift; exists $state{$aref} or $state{$aref} = -1; if (++$state{$aref} > $#$aref) { delete $state{$aref}; return (); } else { return ($state{$aref}, $aref->[$state{$aref}]); } } } my @array = qw( foo bar rat ); while (my ($idx,$val) = a_each @array) { print "$val at $idx\n"; }

Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.
