NAME
NetSDS::Util::Struct - data structure convertors SYNOPSIS
use NetSDS::Util::Struct; ... my $str = dump_to_row($some_structure); DESCRIPTION
NetSDS::Util::Struct module contains different utilities for data structures processing. EXPORTED METHODS
dump_to_string(...) Returns cleaned dump to scalar. dump_to_row(...) Returns cleaned dump to scalar. to_array($data) arrays_to_hash($keys_ref, $values_ref) - translate arrays to hash Parameters: references to keys array and values array Return: hash If @$keys_ref is longer than @$values_ref - rest of keys filled with "undef" values. If @$keys_ref is shorter than @$values_ref - rest of values are discarded. If any of parameters isn't array reference then "undef" will return. Example: my %h = array2hash(['fruit','animal'], ['apple','horse']); Result should be a hash: ( fruit => 'apple', animal => 'horse' ) merge_hash($target, $source) - merge two hashes Parameters: references to target and source hashes. This method adds source hash to target one and return value as a result. EXAMPLES
