NAME

Data::Multihash - A hash table that supports multiple values per key.

SYNOPSIS

  use Data::Multihash;

  my $multihash = Data::Multihash->new();
  $multihash->insert(key => 'value', key => 'other_value');
  $multihash->insert(other_key => 'value');

  print 'There are ' . $multihash->size . ' elements in the multihash.';

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a multihash, which maps keys to sets of values. Multihashes are unordered.

CONSTRUCTORS

new()

Create a new empty multihash.

INSTANCE METHODS

insert(%pairs)

Insert key-value pairs.

remove_key(@keys), remove_keys(@keys)

Remove all given keys and their values.

remove_value(@values), remove_values(@values)

Remove all given values from the multihash.

remove_pair(%pairs), remove_pairs(%pairs)

Remove all given (key, value) pairs from the multiset.

elements($key)

Return all elements associated with a key.

values

Return all values in the multihash as a list.

size

THREAD SAFETY
