I can't see your and_maker, but based on its interface, I'm guessing you're actually building a sub. I suppose that works, but instead, what about:
sub multi_and {
my $result = shift;
while (@_) { $result &= shift; }
$result;
}
That might be used like:
my $results1 = multi_and(1,2,3); # 3 args
my $results2 = multi_and(5,6,7); # 3 args
my $results3 = multi_and(12,13,14,15,16); # 5 args
No code generation, should be pretty fast. If the repeated shift is a problem, then this should work, too:
sub multi_and {
my $result = shift;
for (@_) { $result &= $_ }
$result
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
