Hashes are great for storing named data, but if you want more than one entry
|
|
for a name, you have to use a list of pairs. Even then, this is really boring
|
|
to write:
|
|
|
|
@values = (
|
|
foo => undef,
|
|
bar => undef,
|
|
baz => undef,
|
|
xyz => { ... },
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
With Data::OptList, you can do this instead:
|
|
|
|
Data::OptList::mkopt([
|
|
qw(foo bar baz),
|
|
xyz => { ... },
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
This works by assuming that any defined scalar is a name and any reference
|
|
following a name is its value.
