NAME

Acme::CPANModules::OrderedHash - List of modules that provide ordered hash data type

VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of Acme::CPANModules::OrderedHash (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-OrderedHash), released on 2023-10-06.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher --cpanmodules-module OrderedHash

To run module startup overhead benchmark:

 % bencher --module-startup --cpanmodules-module OrderedHash

For more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.

DESCRIPTION

When you ask a Perl's hash for the list of keys, the answer comes back unordered. In fact, Perl explicitly randomizes the order of keys it returns everytime. The random ordering is a (security) feature, not a bug. However, sometimes you want to know the order of insertion. These modules provide you with an ordered hash; most of them implement it by recording the order of insertion of keys in an additional array.

Other related modules:

Tie::SortHash - will automatically sort keys when you call keys(), values(), each(). But this module does not maintain insertion order.

ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES

Tie::IxHash

Author: CHORNY

Hash::Ordered

Author: DAGOLDEN

Tie::Hash::Indexed

Author: MHX

Provides two interfaces: tied hash and OO.

Tie::LLHash

Author: XAERXESS

Tie::StoredOrderHash

Author: TFM

Array::OrdHash

Author: WOWASURIN

Provide something closest to PHP's associative array, where you can refer elements by key or by numeric index, and insertion order is remembered.

List::Unique::DeterministicOrder

Author: SLAFFAN

Provide a list, not hash.

BENCHMARK NOTES

Hash::Ordered has strong performance in iterating and returning keys, while List::Unique::DeterministicOrder is strong in insertion and deletion (or Tie::Hash::Indexed if you're looking for actual hash type).

FAQ

What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.

What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n OrderedHash

Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):

    % cpanmodules ls-entries OrderedHash | cpanm -n

or Acme::CM::Get:

    % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OrderedHash -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

or directly:

    % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::OrderedHash -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::OrderedHash::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

This Acme::CPANModules module contains benchmark instructions. You can run a benchmark for some/all the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module using the bencher CLI (from Bencher distribution):

    % bencher --cpanmodules-module OrderedHash

This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for lcpan related-mods command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
