Even then, this is really boring #pod to write: #pod #pod $values = [ #pod foo => undef, #pod bar => undef, #pod baz => undef, #pod xyz => { ... }, #pod ]; #pod #pod Just look at all those undefs! Don't worry, we can get rid of those: #pod #pod $values = [ #pod map { $_ => undef } qw(foo bar baz), #pod xyz => { ... }, #pod ]; #pod #pod Aaaauuugh! We've saved a little typing, but now it requires thought to read, #pod and thinking is even worse than typing... and it's got a bug! It looked right, #pod didn't it? Well, the C<< xyz => { ... } >> gets consumed by the map, and we #pod don't get the data we wanted. #pod #pod With Data::OptList, you can do this instead: #pod #pod $values = Data::OptList::mkopt([ #pod qw(foo bar baz), #pod xyz => { ... }, #pod ]); #pod #pod This works by assuming that any defined scalar is a name and any reference #pod following a name is its value. #pod #pod =func mkopt #pod #pod my $opt_list = Data::OptList::mkopt($input, \%arg); #pod #pod Valid arguments are: #pod #pod moniker - a word used in errors to describe the opt list; encouraged #pod require_unique - if true, no name may appear more than once #pod must_be - types to which opt list values are limited (described below) #pod name_test - a coderef used to test whether a value can be a name #pod (described below, but you probably don't want this) #pod #pod This produces an array of arrays; the inner arrays are name/value pairs. #pod Values will be either "undef" or a reference. #pod #pod Positional parameters may be used for compatibility with the old C<mkopt> #pod interface: #pod #pod my $opt_list = Data::OptList::mkopt($input, $moniker, $req_uni, $must_be); #pod #pod Valid values for C<$input>: #pod #pod undef -> [] #pod hashref -> [ [ key1 => value1 ] ... ] # non-ref values become undef #pod arrayref -> every name followed by a non-name becomes a pair: [ name => ref ] #pod every name followed by undef becomes a pair: [ name => undef ] #pod otherwise, it becomes [ name => undef ] like so: #pod [ "a", "b", [ 1, 2 ] ] -> [ [ a => undef ], [ b => [ 1, 2 ] ] ] #pod #pod By default, a I<name> is any defined non-reference. The C<name_test> parameter #pod can be a code ref that tests whether the argument passed it is a name or not. #pod This should be used rarely.
