💖 Forest(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Forest — that's the Forest page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally a collection of n-ary tree related modules. trees!! in perl!! we love to see it 🌳✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Forest — a collection of n-ary tree related modules

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Forest is meant to be a replacement for the Tree::Simple family of modules, and it fixes a bunch of issues that have always bothered the author about them. the way that it's not a complete replacement yet… yeah, no cap, it's not complete yet, but it should eventually grow into that. main character energy, we're getting there 💅

for more info, go read the individual module documentation, starting with Forest::Tree. that's your entry point, bestie 🫶

⭐ TODO ⭐

  • More documentation — it's 0.10, so it is (still) lacking quite a bit of docs (the author says they're being really lazy, sorry 😭). they do invite people to read the source though, because it's quite simple really.
  • More tests — the coverage is in the low 90s, but there's still a lot of behavioral stuff that could use some testing too.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

  • Tree::Simple — the author wrote this module a few years ago and it served them well, but recently they found themselves getting frustrated with some of the uglier bits of it. so Forest is a re-write of this module.
  • Tree — this is an ambitious project to replace all the Tree related modules with a single core implementation. there's some good code in there, but the project seems to be very much on the back-burner at this time. 💀
  • OCaml port of Forest — ask the author about the OCaml port of this module, it's also sitting on their hard drive waiting for release. it actually helped quite a bit in terms of helping them settle on the APIs for this module. static typing can be very helpful sometimes. lowkey iconic of it 🧚

💀 BUGS 💀

all complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. if you find a bug, please either email the author, or add the bug to cpan-RT. do it for the plot 🙈
