What about a tied scalar that, if assigned a Set::Scalar object, evaluates
to the next member of the set (assuming ordering) after the specified
timeout and then undef after MAXAGE*N? Or a round-robin approach? Or
perhaps letting you specify a state machine to cycle throught the members?
Now what if we apply this to subs? Ack!
I like this module, plenty of opportunity for CiP!
