# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| perl-Tie-IxHash: perl-Tie-IxHash (implements ordered in-memory associative arrays) perl-Tie-IxHash: perl-Tie-IxHash: If you have been led to believe that associative arrays in perl perl-Tie-IxHash: don't preserve order, and if you have ever craved for that feature, perl-Tie-IxHash: this module is for you. Simply declare a "tie" for the hash variable perl-Tie-IxHash: that you want to be order-preserving, and forget that limitation ever perl-Tie-IxHash: existed. You can do other nifty things with the tied hash object that perl-Tie-IxHash: you may be used to doing with arrays, like Push(), Pop() and Splice(). perl-Tie-IxHash: perl-Tie-IxHash: Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tie-IxHash/ perl-Tie-IxHash:
