Hash::M...::leach(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, this is the Hash::M...::leach(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's all about Hash::MostUtils::leach — the base implementation of n_each without the Perl-version-specific bits. Periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This module is included as part of the Hash::MostUtils library. 🫶

Hash::MostUtils exports two functions which this module provides: leach and n_each. See the documentation for those functions in Hash::MostUtils for a more thorough treatment of how to use them. iykyk.

leach (and n_each) both provide a splice-like interface for operating on an array. Lowkey iconic.

In Perl versions 5.12 and lower, the prototype for splice is:

sub splice (\@;$$@) { ... }

However, in Perl versions 5.13 and above, the prototype for splice is:

sub splice (+;$$@) { ... }

By extension, the functions leach and n_each need to have a similar version-specific prototype on them. Not me explaining version drama, but yes. 😭

This class serves as an interface to choose between the two prototypes based on your version of Perl. Main character energy: it literally picks the right one so you don't have to. ✨
