=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module exports a small number of subroutines that
add some Perl 6 conveniences to Perl 5. Specifically,
the module exports several subroutines that simplify
interactions with key/value pairs in hashes and arrays.
=head1 INTERFACE
=head2 Array and hash iterators
=over
=item C<pairs %hash>
=item C<pairs @array>
=item C<pairs $hash_or_array_ref>
In list context, C<pairs()> returns a list of "pair" objects, each of
which contains one key/index and value from the argument.
In scalar and void contexts, C<pairs()> throws an exception.
The typical list usage is:
for my $pair (pairs %container) {
# ...do something with $pair
}
The intent is to provide a safe and reliable replacement for the
built-in C<each()> function; specifically, a replacement that can be
used in C<for> loops.
=back
=over
=item C<kvs %hash>
=item C<kvs @array>
=item C<kvs $hash_or_array_ref>
In list context, C<kvs()> returns a list of alternating keys and values.
That is C<kvs %hash> flattens the hash to C<(I<key>, I<value>, I<key>, I<value>...)>
and C<kvs @array> flattens the array to C<(I<index>, I<value>, I<index>,
I<value>...)>.
In scalar and void contexts, C<kvs()> throws an exception.
The most typical use is to populate a hash from an array:
my %hash = kvs @array;
# does the same as:
my %hash; @hash{0..$#array} = @array;
=back
=over
=item C<each_pair %hash>
=item C<each_pair @array>
=item C<each_pair $hash_or_array_ref>
In all contexts, C<each_pair()> returns a single "pair" object,
containing the key/index and value of the next element in the argument.
A separate internal iterator is created for each call to C<each_pair()>, so
multiple calls to C<each_pair()> on the same container variable can be
nested without interacting with each other (i.e. unlike multiple calls
to C<each()>).
When the iterator is exhausted, the next call to C<each_pair()> returns
C<undef> or an empty list (depending on context), and resets the iterator.
The typical usage is:
while (my $pair = each_pair %container) {
# ...do something with $pair->key and $pair->value
}
Note, however, that using C<pairs()> in a C<for> loop is
the preferred idiom:
for my $pair (pairs %container) {
# ...do something with $pair->key and $pair->value
}
=back
=over
=item C<each_kv %hash>
=item C<each_kv @array>
=item C<each_kv $hash_or_array_ref>
In list contexts, C<each_kv()> returns a list of two elements: the
key/index and the value of the next element in the argument.
In scalar contexts, just the next key is returned.
As with C<each_pair()>, a separate internal iterator is created for each
call to C<each_kv()>, so multiple calls to C<each_kv()> on the same
container variable can be nested without interacting with each other
(i.e. unlike multiple calls to C<each()>).
When the iterator is exhausted, the next call to C<each_kv()> returns
C<undef> in scalar context or an empty list in list context, and resets
the iterator.
The typical list usage is:
while (my ($key1, $val1) = each_kv %container) {
while (my ($key2, $val2) = each_kv %container) {
# ...do something with the two keys and two values
}
}
The typical scalar usage is:
while (my $key1 = each_kv %container) {
while (my $key2 = each_kv %container) {
# ...do something with the two keys
}
}
In other words, C<each_kv()> is a drop-in replacement for Perl's
built-in C<each()>, except that you can nest C<each_kv()>
iterations over the same variable without shooting yourself in
the foot.

If you have the C<autobox> module installed, you can use this OO syntax
as well. Apart from their call syntax, these OO forms are exactly the
same as the subroutine-based interface described above.

=head2 Pairs
=over
=item C<< $pair->key >>
Returns a copy of the key of the pair,
if the pair was derived from a hash.
Returns a copy of the index of the pair,
if the pair was derived from an array.
=item C<< $pair->index >>
Nothing but a synonym for C<< $pair->key >>. Use whichever suits your
purpose, your program, or your predilections.
=item C<< $pair->value >>
Returns the value of the pair, as an lvalue.
That is:
for my $item (pairs %items) {
say $item->value
if $item->key =~ /\d/;
}
will print the value of every entry in the C<%items> hash
whose key includes a digit.
And:
for my $item (pairs %items) {
$item->value++;
if $item->key =~ /^Q/;
}
will increment each value in the C<%items> hash
whose key starts with 'Q'.
=item C<< "$pair" >>
When used as a string, a pair is converted to a suitable representation
for a pair, namely: C<< "I<key> => I<value>" >>
=item C<< if ($pair) {...} >>
When a pair is used as a boolean, it is always true.
=back
=head2 Named pair constructors
=over
=item C<< to_pair $scalar, @array, %hash, $etc >>
The C<to_pair> subroutine takes one or more variables and converts each of them
to a single Pair object. The Pair's key is the name of the variable
(minus its leading sigil), and the value is the value of the variable
(if it's a scalar) or a reference to the variable (if it's an array or hash).
That is:
to_pair $scalar, @array, %hash, $etc
is equivalent to:
Pair->new( scalar => $scalar ),
Pair->new( array => \@array ),
Pair->new( hash => \%hash ),
Pair->new( etc => $etc )
This is especially useful for generating modern sets of named arguments
for other subroutines. For example:
Sub::Install::install_sub(to_pair $code, $from, $into);
instead of:
Sub::Install::install_sub(
Pair->new(code => $code),
Pair->new(from => $from),
Pair->new(into => $into)
);
=item C<< to_kv $scalar, @array, %hash, $etc >>
The C<to_kv()> subroutine takes one or more variables and converts each of them
to a I<key> C<< => >> I<value> sequence (i.e. a two-element list, rather than
a Pair object).
As with C<to_pair()>, the key is the name of the variable (minus its
leading sigil), and the value is the value of the variable (if it's a
scalar) or a reference to the variable (if it's an array or hash).
That is:
to_kv $scalar, @array, %hash, $etc
is equivalent to:
scalar => $scalar, array => \@array, hash => \%hash, etc => $etc
This is especially useful for generating traditional sets of named
arguments for other subroutines. For example:
Sub::Install::install_sub({to_kv $code, $from, $into});
instead of:
Sub::Install::install_sub({code => $code, from => $from, into => $into});
=back
=head2 Array and hash inverters
=over
=item C<< invert %hash >>
=item C<< invert @array >>
=item C<< invert $hash_or_array_ref >>
The C<invert> subroutine takes a single hash or array (or a reference to
either) and returns a list of alternating keys and value, where each key
is a value from the original variable and each corresponding value is a
reference to an array containing the original key(s). This list is typically
used to initialize a second hash, which can then be used as a reverse mapping.
In other words:
my %hash = ( a => 1, b => 2, c => 1, d => 1, e => 2, f => 3 );
my %inversion = invert %hash;
is equivalent to:
my %inversion = (
1 => ['a', 'c', 'd'],
2 => ['b', 'e'],
3 => ['f'],
);
C<invert> correctly handles the many-to-many case where some of the values in
the original are array references. For example:
my %hash = ( a => [1,2], b => 2, c => [1,3], d => 1, e => [3,2], f => 3 );
my %inversion = invert %hash;
is equivalent to:
my %inversion = (
1 => ['a', 'c', 'd'],
2 => ['a', 'b', 'e'],
3 => ['c', 'e', 'f'],
);
=item C<< invert_pairs %hash >>
=item C<< invert_pairs @array >>
=item C<< invert_pairs $hash_or_array_ref >>
C<invert_pairs()> acts exactly like C<invert()>, except that it returns
a list of Pair objects (like C<pairs()> does).
This is not useful for initializing other hashes, but is handy for debugging
a reverse mapping:
say for invert_pairs %hash;
=item C<< %hash->invert >> or C<< %hash->invert_pairs >>
=item C<< @array->invert >> or C<< @array->invert_pairs >>
=item C<< $hash_or_array_ref->invert >> or C<< $hash_or_array_ref->invert_pairs >>
If you have the C<autobox> module installed, you can use this OO syntax
as well. Apart from their call syntax, these OO forms are exactly the
same as the subroutine-based interfaces described above.
=back
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over
=item C<< Argument to %s must be hash or array (not %s) >>
Except for C<to_pair()> and C<to_kv()>, all of the subroutines exported
by this module only operate on hashes, arrays, or references to hashes
or arrays. Asking for the "pairs" insidde a scalar, typeglob, or other entity
is meaningless; they're simply not structured as collections of keyed values.
=item C<< Useless use of pairs() in void context >>
=item C<< Useless use of kvs() in void context >>
=item C<< Useless use of invert() in void context >>
None of these subroutines has any side-effects, so calling them in void
context is a waste of time.
=item C<< Invalid call to pairs() in scalar context >>
=item C<< Invalid call to kvs() in scalar context >>
=item C<< Invalid call to invert() in scalar context >>
All these subroutines return a list, so in scalar context you just
get a count (which there are cheaper and easier ways to obtain).
The most common case where this error is reported is when C<pairs()> or
C<kvs()> is used in a C<while> loop, instead of a C<for> loop. Either
change the type of loop, or else use C<each_pair()> or C<each_kv()>
instead.
=item C<< Can't convert Pair(%s => %s) to a number >>
You attempted to use one of the pair objects returned by C<pairs()>
as a number, but the module has no idea how to do that.
You probably need to use C<< $pair->index >> or C<< $pair->value >> instead.
=back
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
