Why not adopt me?
NAME
Data::InputMonster::Util - handy routines for use with the input monster
VERSION
version 0.011
DESCRIPTION
These methods, which provide some helpers for use with InputMonster, can be exported as routines upon request.
PERL VERSION SUPPORT
This code is effectively abandonware. Although releases will sometimes be made to update contact info or to fix packaging flaws, bug reports will mostly be ignored. Feature requests are even more likely to be ignored. (If someone takes up maintenance of this code, they will presumably remove this notice.)
METHODS
dig
my $source = dig( [ $key1, $key2, $key2 ]);
my $source = dig( sub { ... } );
A dig
source looks through the input using the given locator. If it's a coderef, the code is called and passed the input. If it's an arrayref, each entry is used, in turn, to subscript the input as a deep data structure. If it's a plain scalar, it's treated like a one-element arrayref would have been.
For example, given:
$input = [ { ... }, { ... }, { foo => [ { bar => 13, baz => undef } ] } ];
$source = dig( [ qw( 2 foo 0 bar ) ] );
The source would find 13.
