multidimensional(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for multidimensional(3) — and it's giving one very specific job: disables multidimensional array emulation. Slay. 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.014 — yes, that's the one, no cap. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no multidimensional;

$hash{1, 2};                # dies
$hash{join($;, 1, 2)};      # doesn't die

So the first one? dies. 💀 The join($;, 1, 2) version? doesn't die. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Perl's multidimensional array emulation stems from the days before the language had references, but these days it mostly serves to bite you when you typo a hash slice by using the $ sigil instead of @.

This module lexically makes using multidimensional array emulation a fatal error at compile time. Periodt.

💅 METHODS 💅

Two methods, bestie. Both are about the remainder of the scope being compiled.

🎀 unimport

Disables multidimensional array emulation for the remainder of the scope being compiled.

🎀 import

Enables multidimensional array emulation for the remainder of the scope being compiled;
