I need a Tipp how I can create a linked ring-list in Perl. I know well that arrays in Perl are already realized as linked list, but what I need is a ring-list. Means that at the last element owns a reference to the first element.
What are you trying to do that Perl's arrays won't solve the problem? It's a simple matter to make a series of elements (say, anonymous hashes) in which each holds a reference to the next one in a ring. It's a little harder to ensure that these elements are properly garbage collected at the right time. It's nearly always easier to use an array and write code that "knows" that the array is a ring. Have you looked on CPAN yet?
