Hash::Case::Upper(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Hash::Case::Upper(3pm)NAME
Hash::Case::Upper - native hash with enforced lower cased keys
INHERITANCE
Hash::Case::Upper
is a Hash::Case
is a Tie::StdHash
SYNOPSIS
use Hash::Case::Upper;
tie my(%uchash), 'Hash::Case::Upper';
$uchash{StraNGeKeY} = 3;
print keys %uchash; # STRANGEKEY
DESCRIPTION
Hash::Case::Upper extends Hash::Case, which lets you play various trics with hash keys. In this implementation, the fake hash is case
insensitive and the keys stored in upper-case.
METHODS
Constructors
$obj->addHashData(HASH)
See "Constructors" in Hash::Case
$obj->addPairs(PAIRS)
See "Constructors" in Hash::Case
$obj->setHash(HASH)
See "Constructors" in Hash::Case
tie(HASH, 'Hash::Case::Upper', [VALUES,] OPTIONS)
Define HASH to have only upper cased keys. The hash is initialized with the VALUES, specified as ref-array or ref-hash. Currently,
there are no OPTIONS defined.

Hash::WithDefaults(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Hash::WithDefaults(3pm)NAME
Hash::WithDefaults - class for hashes with key-casing requirements supporting defaults
version 0.05
SYNOPSIS
use Hash::WithDefaults;
%main = ( ... );
tie %h1, 'Hash::WithDefaults', {...};
tied(%h1)->AddDefault(\%main);
tie %h2, 'Hash::WithDefaults', [...];
tied(%h2)->AddDefault(\%main);
# now if you use $h1{$key}, the value is looked up first
# in %h1, then in %main.
DESCRIPTION
This module implements hashes that support "defaults". That is you may specify several more hashes in which the data will be looked up in
case it is not found in the current hash.
Object creation
tie %hash, 'Hash::WithDefault', [$case_option], [\%values];
tie %hash, 'Hash::WithDefault', [$case_option], [@values];
tie %hash, 'Hash::WithDefault', [$case_option], [%values];
The optional $case_option may be one of these values:
Sensitive - the hash will be case sensitive
Tolower - the hash will be case sensitive, all keys are made lowercase
Toupper - the hash will be case sensitive, all keys are made uppercase
Preserve - the hash will be case insensitive, the case is preserved
Lower - the hash will be case insensitive, all keys are made lowercase
Upper - the hash will be case insensitive, all keys are made uppercase
If you pass a hash or array reference or an even list of keys and values to the tie() function, those keys and values will be COPIED to the
resulting magical hash!
After you tie() the hash, you use it just like any other hash.
Functions
AddDefault
tied(%hash)->AddDefault(\%defaults);
This instructs the object to include the %defaults in the search for values. After this the value will be looked up first in %hash itself
and then in %defaults.
You may keep modifying the %defaults and your changes WILL be visible through %hash!
You may add as many defaults to one Hash::WithDefaults object as you like, they will be searched in the order you add them.
If you delete a key from the tied hash, it's only deleted from the list of specific keys, the defaults are never modified through the tied
hash. This means that you may get a default value for a key after you deletethe key from the tied hash!
GetDefaults
$defaults = tied(%hash)->GetDefaults();
push @$defaults, \%another_default;
Returns a reference to the array that stores the defaults. You may delete or insert hash references into the array, but make sure you
NEVER EVER insert anything else than a hash reference into the array!
Config::IniHash example
use Config::IniHash;
$config = ReadIni $inifile, withdefaults => 1, case => 'preserve';
if (exists $config->{':default'}) {
my $default = $config->{':default'};
foreach my $section (keys %$config) {
next if $section =~ /^:/;
tied(%{$config->{$section}})->AddDefault($default)
}
}
And now all normal sections will get the default values from [:default] section ;-)
