Re: Perl level control of hash iterators

You can do it in XS and you can also do it by tying the hash, then providing FIRSTKEY and NEXTKEY. This is how, for instance, you can have a sorted hash. Look at Tie::Hash::Sorted (by our own Limbic~Region) for an example.

My criteria for good software:

Does it work?
Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

dragonchild, Thanks for the plug. One of these days I am going to dust off that module, address some POD issues, and add a few new features. With regards to a lexical iterator, Localizable / customizable 'each' iterator for hashes by our very own davido may be of interest. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

Ah, that satisfies my curiosity. Thanks	[reply]
