NAME
Tie::RefHash - Use references as hash keys
VERSION
version 1.40
SYNOPSIS
require 5.004; use Tie::RefHash; tie HASHVARIABLE, 'Tie::RefHash', LIST; tie HASHVARIABLE, 'Tie::RefHash::Nestable', LIST; untie HASHVARIABLE;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides the ability to use references as hash keys if you first
tie
the hash variable to this module. Normally, only the keys of the tied hash itself are preserved as references; to use references as keys in hashes-of-hashes, use Tie::RefHash::Nestable, included as part of Tie::RefHash.It is implemented using the standard perl TIEHASH interface. Please see the
tie
entry in perlfunc(1) and perltie(1) for more information.The Nestable version works by looking for hash references being stored and converting them to tied hashes so that they too can have references as keys. This will happen without warning whenever you store a reference to one of your own hashes in the tied hash.
EXAMPLE
use Tie::RefHash; tie %h, 'Tie::RefHash'; $a = []; $b = {}; $c = \*main; $d = \"gunk"; $e = sub { 'foo' }; %h = ($a => 1, $b => 2, $c => 3, $d => 4, $e => 5); $a->[0] = 'foo'; $b->{foo} = 'bar'; for (keys %h) { print ref($_), "\n"; } tie %h, 'Tie::RefHash::Nestable'; $h{$a}->{$b} = 1; for (keys %h, keys %{$h{$a}}) { print ref($_), "\n"; }
THREAD SUPPORT
Tie::RefHash fully supports threading using the
CLONE
method.STORABLE SUPPORT
Storable hooks are provided for semantically correct serialization and cloning of tied refhashes.
