Сопоставление шаблона в foreach, а затем последний шаг

Можно ли что-то сделать после совпадения с образцом в операторе foreach?
Я хочу сделать шаг после матча, например. установить переменную. Я также хочу принудительно вернуть Unit, поскольку мой foreachравен String => Unit, и по умолчанию Scala хочет вернуть последний оператор.

Вот код:

    Iteratee.foreach[String](_ match {
      case "date" => out.push("Current date: " + new Date().toString + "<br/>")
      case "since" => out.push("Last command executed: " + (ctm - last) + "ms before now<br/>")
      case unknow => out.push("Command: " + unknown + " not recognized <br/>")
    } // here I would like to set "last = ctm" (will be a Long) 
    ) 

ОБНОВЛЕНО: Новый код и контекст. Также добавлены новые вопросы :)Они встроены в комментарии.

def socket = WebSocket.using[String] { request =>

 // Comment from an answer bellow but what are the side effects?
 // By convention, methods with side effects takes an empty argument list
 def ctm(): Long = System.currentTimeMillis

 var last: Long = ctm

 // Command handlers
 // Comment from an answer bellow but what are the side effects?
 // By convention, methods with side effects takes an empty argument list
 def date() = "Current date: " + new Date().toString + "<br/>"
 def since(last: Long) = "Last command executed: " + (ctm - last) + "ms before now<br/>"
 def unknown(cmd: String) = "Command: " + cmd + " not recognized <br/>"

 val out = Enumerator.imperative[String] {}

 // How to transform into the mapping strategy given in lpaul7's nice answer.
 lazy val in = Iteratee.foreach[String](_ match {
   case "date" => out.push(date)
   case "since" => out.push(since(last))
   case unknown => out.push(unknown)
 } // Here I want to update the variable last to "last = ctm"
 ).mapDone { _ =>
   println("Disconnected")
 }

 (in, out)
}
