I disagree. Here is the full code and FETCH is only called once for each element within the body of the loop:

use strict; use warnings; package MyClass; use Tie::Array; our @ISA = ('Tie::Array'); our @data; # mandatory methods sub TIEARRAY { my $class = shift; bless \@data, $class; @data = @_ +; return \@data } sub FETCH { print "FETCH: "; my ($self, $index ) = @_; return $dat +a[$index] } sub FETCHSIZE { print "<FETCHSIZE> "; return scalar @data } package main; for( @{ tie my @x, "MyClass", "first", "second"; \@x } ) { print "In loop = "; print "$_\n"; }

Output:

In loop = FETCH: first In loop = FETCH: second

    Ah sorry, I stand corrected. I was reading your code as: for( do { tie my @x, "MyClass", "first", "second"; @x } ) {

    So indeed: for( @{ tie my @x, "MyClass", "first", "second"; \@x } ) {

    will make for() iterate over a tied array. In fact,

    use strict; use warnings; package MyClass; use Tie::Array; our @ISA = ('Tie::Array'); our @data; # mandatory methods sub TIEARRAY { my $class = shift; bless \@data, $class; @data = @_ +; return \@data } sub FETCH { print "FETCH: "; my ($self, $index ) = @_; return $dat +a[$index] } sub FETCHSIZE { return scalar @data } package main; sub wrapper { tie my @x, "MyClass", @_; \@x; } for( @{wrapper("first", "second")} ) { print "In loop = "; print "$_\n"; }

    also works. So it's quite close to what I want, yay. Any improvement is welcome :-)

      Try this:

      sub wrapper : lvalue { tie my @x, "MyClass", @_; @x; } for( wrapper("first", "second") ) { print "In loop = "; print "$_\n"; }

      As I said initially I am not expert in this, so there might be undesired side effects...

      And FETCHSIZE is called once only...

        hdb, you're my hero :-) My faith in Perl is restored again.
