Assuming code-tampering is not an issue, how about this:
my $foo; # Global, because this is the only visible (subroutine ref)
$foo=sub{
print qq[First call - do first processing here \n];
# First processing code goes here ...
# Now setup for subsequent calls ....
$foo=sub{
print qq[subsequent calls\n]
# Code for subsequent calls goes here
}
};
$foo->() for 0..5; # OK - so the subroutine call looks slightly weird
+to newbies.
Unfortunately, Murphy's laws will kick in if the caller decides to use a copy/clone of the $foo scalar, so don't do that.

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).
