Re^3: Modules to reduce syntax?

>Pyrrhic victory

perhaps a tad hyperbolic? OP asked for reduction in syntax (I read it as more readable) - not even "less typing"; but the only thing I can assuredly tell you is that I tend to use this module a lot nowadays. And it is true that eliminating a paired set of curlies in exchange for some dereference syntax is worth it to me; and "overhead" (whatever that means to the reader) is generally never something I even look at. My optimizations happen on the algorithmic or complexity level; IOW I avoid nesting loops in favor of ... hashes (and references to such) :-) In any case, I should have added a YMMV.

This can be easily overlooked, hence my remark. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

The `-recurse` option to `h2o` creates accessors for all levels of hash; though I have not tried to see if it works for something like, `my $ref = { foo => { bar => [ baz => 1, herp => 2, derp => 3 ], }, };` [download] Or maybe I don't know what you mean by, from the second level on.

> Or maybe I don't know what you mean by, from the second level on. Your first level deref with H2O `$ref->foo` is 2 characters shorter than `$ref->{foo}` but that's it! No more gains for further levels `$ref->foo->$bar->baz->bla` ° vs `$ref->{foo}{$bar}{baz}{bla}` is still only 2 characters better. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} °) hypothesized, I've never used or tested this.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
