NAME

Hash::Digger - Access nested hash structures without vivification

VERSION

Version 0.0.5

SYNOPSIS

Allows accessing hash structures without triggering autovivification.

    my %hash;

    $hash{'foo'}{'bar'} = 'baz';

    diggable \%hash, 'foo', 'bar';
    # Truthy

    diggable \%hash, 'xxx', 'yyy';
    # Falsey

    dig \%hash, 'foo', 'bar';
    # 'baz'

    dig \%hash, 'foo', 'bar', 'xxx';
    # undef

    exhume 'some default', \%hash, 'foo', 'bar';
    # 'baz'

    exhume 'some default', \%hash, 'foo', 'xxx';
    # 'some default'

    # Hash structure has not changed:
    use Data::Dumper;
    Dumper \%hash;
    # $VAR1 = {
    #           'foo' => {
    #                      'bar' => 'baz'
    #                    }
    #         };
