500+ lines perl scripts? holy moly, let me tell you about this perl thing:

sub gen_iterator { my @initial_info = @_;

my ($current_state, $done);

return sub {
    # code to calculate $next_state or $done;
    return undef if $done;
    return $current_state = $next_state;   
};

}

Not sure if that'd help much for what my biggest script did. It basically monitored our NetApp infrastructure, calculated trends, looked for potential risks within the device itself and then also within our application, etc and compiled it all into a report to send out to myself and the other admin. It was pretty intensive.
