"slice"HASHREF[,LIST]
Returns a hash containing the (key, value) pair for every key in LIST.
If no "LIST" is given, all keys are assumed as "LIST".
"slice_def"HASHREF[,LIST]
As "slice", but only includes keys whose values are defined.
If no "LIST" is given, all keys are assumed as "LIST".
"slice_exists"HASHREF[,LIST]
As "slice" but only includes keys which exist in the hashref.
If no "LIST" is given, all keys are assumed as "LIST".
"slice_without"HASHREF[,LIST]
As "slice" but without any (key/value) pair whose key is in LIST.
If no "LIST" is given, in opposite to slice an empty list is assumed, thus nothing will be deleted.
"slice_missing"HASHREF[,LIST]
Returns a HASH containing the (key => undef) pair for every "LIST" element (as key) that does not exist
hashref.
If no "LIST" is given there are obviously no non-existent keys in "HASHREF" so the returned HASH is
empty.
"slice_notdef"HASHREF[,LIST]
Searches for undefined slices with the given "LIST" elements as keys in the given "HASHREF". Returns a
"HASHREF" containing the slices (key -> undef) for every undefined item.
To search for undefined slices "slice_notdef" needs a "LIST" with items to search for (as keys). If no
"LIST" is given it returns an empty "HASHREF" even when the given "HASHREF" contains undefined slices.
"slice_true"HASHREF[,LIST]
A special "slice_grep" which returns only those elements of the hash which's values evaluates to "TRUE".
If no "LIST" is given, all keys are assumed as "LIST".
"slice_false"HASHREF[,LIST]
A special "slice_grep" which returns only those elements of the hash which's values evaluates to "FALSE".
If no "LIST" is given, all keys are assumed as "LIST".
"slice_grep"BLOCK,HASHREF[,LIST]
As "slice", with an arbitrary condition.
If no "LIST" is given, all keys are assumed as "LIST".
Unlike "grep", the condition is not given aliases to elements of anything. Instead, %_ is set to the
contents of the hashref, to avoid accidentally auto-vivifying when checking keys or values. Also,
'uninitialized' warnings are turned off in the enclosing scope.
"slice_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
Returns a hash containing the (key, value) pair for every key in "MAP".
If no "MAP" is given, all keys of "HASHREF" are assumed mapped to themselves.
"slice_def_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_map", but only includes keys whose values are defined.
If no "MAP" is given, all keys of "HASHREF" are assumed mapped to themselves.
"slice_exists_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_map" but only includes keys which exist in the hashref.
If no "MAP" is given, all keys of "HASHREF" are assumed mapped to themselves.
"slice_missing_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_missing" but checks for missing keys (of "MAP") and map to the value (of "MAP") as key in the
returned HASH. The slices of the returned "HASHREF" are always undefined.
If no "MAP" is given, "slice_missing" will be used on "HASHREF" which will return an empty HASH.
"slice_notdef_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_notdef" but checks for undefined keys (of "MAP") and map to the value (of "MAP") as key in the
returned HASH.
If no "MAP" is given, "slice_notdef" will be used on "HASHREF" which will return an empty HASH.
"slice_true_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_map", but only includes pairs whose values are "TRUE".
If no "MAP" is given, all keys of "HASHREF" are assumed mapped to themselves.
"slice_false_map"HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_map", but only includes pairs whose values are "FALSE".
If no "MAP" is given, all keys of "HASHREF" are assumed mapped to themselves.
"slice_grep_map"BLOCK,HASHREF[,MAP]
As "slice_map", with an arbitrary condition.
If no "MAP" is given, all keys of "HASHREF" are assumed mapped to themselves.
Unlike "grep", the condition is not given aliases to elements of anything. Instead, %_ is set to the
contents of the hashref, to avoid accidentally auto-vivifying when checking keys or values. Also,
'uninitialized' warnings are turned off in the enclosing scope.
"hashsort"[BLOCK,]HASHREF
my @array_of_pairs = hashsort \%hash;
my @pairs_by_length = hashsort sub { length($a) <=> length($b) }, \%hash;
Returns the (key, value) pairs of the hash, sorted by some property of the keys. By default (if no sort
block given), sorts the keys with "cmp".
I'm not convinced this is useful yet. If you can think of some way it could be more so, please let me
know.
"safe_reverse"[BLOCK,]HASHREF
my %dup_rev = safe_reverse \%hash
sub croak_dup {
my ($k, $v, $r) = @_;
exists( $r->{$v} ) and
croak "Cannot safe reverse: $v would be mapped to both $k and $r->{$v}";
$v;
};
my %easy_rev = safe_reverse \&croak_dup, \%hash
Returns safely reversed hash (value, key pairs of original hash). If no "BLOCK" is given, following
routine will be used:
sub merge_dup {
my ($k, $v, $r) = @_;
return exists( $r->{$v} )
? ( ref($r->{$v}) ? [ @{$r->{$v}}, $k ] : [ $r->{$v}, $k ] )
: $k;
};
The "BLOCK" will be called with 3 arguments:
"key" The key from the "( key, value )" pair in the original hash
"value" The value from the "( key, value )" pair in the original hash
"ref-hash"
Reference to the reversed hash (read-only)
The "BLOCK" is expected to return the value which will used for the resulting hash.
