Greetings, fellow monks.

I have a module I'm working on that accepts a hash of arguments to one of its functions. If no hash is supplied, it fills in the arguments itself. This is the code I am using:

    my $defaults = {
        requires_login         => $_{'requires_login'} ? $_{'requires_
+login'} : 0,
        template_file         => $_{'template_file'} ? $_{'template_fi
+le'} : 'template.tmpl',
        inner_template => '',
    };

However, there are a lot of defaults I need to do this for. Is there any way to write this in a shorter form and have it work?

Thanks,

Spidy



Edit: I ended up just hacking a piece of HTML::Template to suit my needs:

sub loadOptions {
    my $argsref = shift;
    my $options = shift;
    for(my $i = 0; $i < @{$argsref};$i+=2) {
        $options->{lc(${$argsref}[$i])} = ${$argsref}[($i+1)];
    }
    return $options;
}

And then it's called using:

$defaults = loadOptions([@_],$defaults);
