As mentioned above the various replies have stimulated me into returning lists for segments and sections which, as you point out are small in number and small in size. However I'm going to provide an iterator for returning the contents of segments and sections. Parameters to the iterator generator will let me set the maximum size of blobs returned and allow specifying selected portions of the blocks to be returned. That fits nicely with common use patterns where fixed size blocks are consumed by processes such as flash programmers and debuggers. That also helps with code that might write files for consumption by flash programmers and debuggers etc.
Methods that return lists or iterators can both benefit from providing filtering so I'll roll that in as an option too. Any other kitchen sinks I should add?

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).
