but if you deal with it as an aggregate of dependent parts, rather than as a monolithic whole, it's quite manageable.

I tend to find that keeping track of several parallel "simple" data structures is more complex and error-prone than using a single, "complex" one.

I concur. Having parallel data structures is hard to maintain (a maintainer coder wont know everywhere to change) and is confusing usually. So long as there is a consistant and logical structure to the data its complexity is usually not an issue. Although I have to admit that I did write Data::BFDump to dump complex and self-referential data strutures in a more intuitive way as when viewed with Data::Dumper even a fairly simple data structure can end up looking like a plate of spaghetti.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
