This is the version of perl under which this module was developed. =head1 DESCRIPTION A simple iterator that will return the coordinates of the next cell if one were to tour an array's cells in a serpentine path. =head2 Serpentine Object Methods =head3 new([ => value, ...]) Creates the object with its attributes. The attributes B, B, B, and B are inherited from L. This package adds more attributes of its own, which are: =over 4 =item counterclock, corner_bottom, corner_right, vertical I All are boolean values that affect the starting point and the direction of the tour. By default, the tour is generated the upper left corner in a horizontal back-and-forth path. See the Examples section to see what effects the different combinations produce. =back =head3 next() =head3 has_next() =head3 current() =head3 direction() =head3 reset([ => value, ...]) =head3 describe() These methods are inherited from L and have the same behavior. =head3 opposite() Return a new object that follows the same path as the original object, reversing the inward/outward direction. =head2 Example: A Serpentine Tour of the Square The four by four case demonstrates the different possible arrangements. There are four possible central positions. By default, the tour will begin in the top left corner, but the options C and C can force the starting point to a different corner of the square. =head2 EXPORT The :directions and :status EXPORT tags are available, as defined in L. =head2 See Also =head1 AUTHOR John M.
