( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Thanks. I know I should have looked into CPAN. I was sure to find many so I was hoping for an "I'm using this one and am happy with it" type of response. :-)

Data::Compare looks slightly better (though neither seems to care about loops), so I'll take that one as the basis. As I said I need/want something a little different. I don't need $struct1 == $struct2, but something like $struct1 <= $struct2.

That is "Do all hashes in $struct2 contain all the keys as those in $struct1 and with the same values? Do all arrays in $struct2 have at least as many items and those in $struct1 and do those have the same values? I don't mind if the hashes in $struct2 contain additional keys or the arrays have more item.

I have this implemented (will then send my additions to the Data::Compare's author), but I can't think up a decent name for the function. During the development I used CompareX(), but that doesn't say anything about what it does. Does anyone have a suggestion?

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.
