Is there an one liner to do the following, which is not hard to do in more than a few lines: Given an array, and an integer, want to distribute this integer roughly evenly among this array elements, result should be a hash:
my @array=qw(a b c d e);
my $num = 13;
# so every element should get 2 = int(13/5), with the
# remaining 3 given to the first three (or randomly).
# Desired result:
my %result = (a=>3, b=>3,c=>3,d=>2,e=>2);
Thanks.
My current version is something like:
my $averge = int($num/@array);
my %result = map{$_=>$average} @array;
for my $i(1..($num - $average*@array)){
++$result{$array[$i-1]};
}
