Heh. That's actually a prime example of why I needed this method in the
chain processing, but yes I decided to change the name to dice()
use list qw(L);
use Array::Reform qw(reform);
my $refs = L("a".."m")->map(sub {uc})->dice(sub {reform(3, @_)});
print $refs->map(sub {join("|", @$_)})->
l_unshift("diced:")->join("\n "), "\n";

Strange, my cpan doesn't see it. Maybe the mirror, but the dist seems
odd.
As far as adding the functionality, I prefer that list.pm just provides
interface and generic wrappers for applying external functionality.
That means you can still use Array::Reform::reform or whatever in or
out of this context.
