Yeah, that's doable. I can also think of doing it without having everything inside the loop ..
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
# 2022-0125: Handle First and List iems differently that everything
# in between ..
{
my @keys = qw/q w e r t y u i o p/;
print "First is $keys[0] ..\n";
foreach my $k ( @keys[1..(scalar @keys -2)] ) {
print "In the middle: $k\n";
}
print "Finally, we have $keys[-1].\n";
}
This produces the output
First is q ..
In the middle: w
In the middle: e
In the middle: r
In the middle: t
In the middle: y
In the middle: u
In the middle: i
In the middle: o
Finally, we have p.
But I like your solution of using an Iterator -- then it has the job of handling the 'first' and 'last' issues.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
