Minor nitpick, you can do away with the integer parameter - to me it
makes more sense to just lazily spew an infinite list of generated
matches. Then you'd do
@results = generate(/a*/) [0..999];
to get 1000 results, but you can also do
@results = generate(/a*/);
while !$hell.frozen() {
shift @results;
}
