in reply to Generate the perl sequence 1, 11, 111, ....

As this infinite series could get rather large you may like to create an iterator to return the next member from the series each time it is called

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # make our iterator (a subroutine which holds its own state) my $ones = seq_gen(1); while (1) { # call iterator and print result my $next = $ones->(); print "$next\n"; sleep 1; } sub seq_gen { # generate and return a subroutine that captures its entry values +and # gives you the next member each time it is called my $seq = shift; my $string = ''; return sub { $string .= $seq; return $string; } }

Cheers,
R.
