package Struct::Compare;

=head1 NAME

Struct::Compare - Recursive diff for perl structures.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Struct::Compare;
    my $is_different = compare($ref1, $ref2);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Compares two values of any type and structure and returns true if they
are the same. It does a deep comparison of the structures, so a hash
of a hash of a whatever will be compared correctly.

This is especially useful for writing unit tests for your modules!

=head1 PUBLIC FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=cut

use strict;
require Exporter;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT);
use Carp qw(croak);

@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(compare);

$VERSION = '1.0.1';

# TODO: document

use constant FALSE=>0;
use constant TRUE =>1;
use constant DEBUG=>0;

=item * $bool = compare($var1, $var2)

Recursively compares $var1 to $var2, returning false if either
structure is different than the other at any point. If both are
undefined, it returns true as well, because that is considered equal.

=cut

  my $x = shift;

  print "\$b is a ", ref $b, "\n" if DEBUG;

  return FALSE unless ref $a eq ref $b;

    print "a = $$a, b = $$b\n" if DEBUG;
    return $$a eq $$b;
  }

    my $found = 0;
    foreach my $key (@keys) {
      $found++ if exists $b->{$key};
    }

    return FALSE if $found != $max;

    # now compare the values
    foreach my $key (@keys) {
      # WARN: recursion may get really deep.
      return FALSE unless compare($a->{$key}, $b->{$key});
    }

    for (my $i = 0; $i < $max; ++$i) {
      # WARN: recursion may get really deep.
      return FALSE unless compare($a->[$i], $b->[$i]);
    }

    return TRUE;
  }

  # FIX: doesn't deal with non-basic types... see if you can fake it.

  return FALSE;
}

=head1 BUGS/NEEDED ENHANCEMENTS

=over

=item * blessed references

compare currently does not deal with blessed references. I need to
look into how to deal with this.
