If you are looking for a module to maniptulate sets, try Set::Scalar:
use Set::Scalar; $s = Set::Scalar->new; $s->insert('a', 'b'); $s->delete('b'); $t = Set::Scalar->new('x', 'y', $z); $u = $s->union($t); $i = $s->intersection($t); $d = $s->difference($t); $e = $s->symmetric_difference($t); $v = $s->unique($t); $c = $s->complement;

From your other post, however, it seems like you are interested in a more specialized form of set, that is integer ranges or spans. In this case, check out the module Set::IntSpan:

use Set::IntSpan qw(grep_set map_set); $set_spec = "1-20000"; $set = new Set::IntSpan $set_spec; $set_spec = "1-14192,14194,14196-14221"; $u_set = union $set $set_spec; $i_set = intersect $set $set_spec; $x_set = xor $set $set_spec; $d_set = diff $set $set_spec; $c_set = complement $set;
For large integral ranges, Set::IntSpan can be a lot more efficient than Set::Scalar.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
