combine multiple iterators
Create a new iterator over the given list of iterators. The list is not damaged in any way.
if $unique is set, we try to not repeat values. Warning: $unique assumes that the values are strings (so works for cUID's )
Returns false when the iterator is exhausted.
my $it = new TWiki::ListIterator(\@list);
while ($it->hasNext()) {
...
Return the next entry in the list.
The iterator object can be customised to pre- and post-process entries from the list before returning them. This is done by setting two fields in the iterator object:
{filter} can be defined to be a sub that filters each entry. The entry will be ignored (next() will not return it) if the filter returns false.
{process} can be defined to be a sub to process each entry before it is returned by next. The value returned from next is the value returned by the process function.
