Catman...:assoc(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Catman...:assoc — it's a Catmandu::Fix thingy that takes two values and glues them together as a hash key and its value 💖 (manual name's Catman...:assoc(3pm), if you're keeping receipts, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation fam).

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the whole vibe, bestie — you feed it a bunch of pairs, and it turns each key + val duo into an actual hash entry 🦋

# {pairs => [{key => 'year', val => 2009}, {key => 'subject', val => 'Perl'}]}
assoc(fields, pairs.*.key, pairs.*.val)
# {fields => {subject => 'Perl', year => 2009}, pairs => [...]}}

like?? it just works ✨ the pairs array stays exactly where it is, but now you've also got a shiny fields hash with subject and year all cozy inside it 💅
