My solution in the root thread required was only minimally better than my original solution (
to the wrong problem). This minimally tested version is vast improvement over both previous solutions.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $end = shift || 22;
my $next = lazy_merge( [ @ARGV ? @ARGV : (2, 3, 5) ] );
print $next->(), "\n" for 1 .. $end;
sub lazy_merge {
my ($list, $last) = (shift(), 0);
my $by_n = sub { my ($n, $k) = (shift(), 0); return sub { $_[0] ?
+$k += $n : $k } };
$_ = $by_n->( $_ ) for @$list;
return sub {
my $low;
for ( @$list ) {
my $val = $_->();
$val = $_->( 'next' ) if $val <= $last;
$low = $val if ! defined $low || $val < $low;
}
return $last = $low;
};
}
