Statistics::R::REXP::List - an R generic vector (list)

Author

       Davor Cubranic <cubranic@stat.ubc.ca>

Bugs And Limitations

       Classes in the "REXP" hierarchy are intended to be immutable. Please do not try to change their value  or
       attributes.

       There are no known bugs in this module. Please see Statistics::R::IO for bug reporting.

Description

       An object of this class represents an R list, also called a generic vector ("VECSXP"). List elements can
       themselves be lists, and so can form a tree structure.

Methods

       "Statistics::R::REXP:List" inherits from Statistics::R::REXP::Vector, with no added restrictions on the
       value of its elements. Missing values ("NA" in R) have value "undef".

       sexptype
           SEXPTYPE of generic vectors is "VECSXP".

       to_pl
           Perl value of the list is an array reference to the Perl values of its "elements", but using a scalar
           value  to  represent  elements  that  are atomic vectors of length 1, rather than a one-element array
           reference.

           The idea is that in R, "1:3", and "list(1, 2, 3)" can often be used interchangeably, even though  the
           list is really composed of three integer vectors, each of length one. Now, both will have native Perl
           representation of "[1, 2, 3]".

           This  only  applies  to  elements  that  are  atomic  vectors. An element of type list will always be
           represented as an array reference:

           "list(list(1), list(2), list(3))->to_pl" -> "[ [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ] ]"
