NAME

Quote::Reference - Create array refs with qwr(...), hash refs with qhr{...}

SYNOPSIS

    use Quote::Reference;

    # Set $foo = ['this','is','an','array','reference']; 
    my $foo = qwr( this is an array reference ); 

    # Set $bar = {
    #     'red' => 'FF0000',
    #     'green' => '00FF00',
    #     'blue' => '0000FF'
    # }
    my $bar = qhr{
        red    FF0000
        green  00FF00
        blue   0000FF
    };

DESCRIPTION

This module uses source filtering to allow creating hash and array references just as easily and clean as using qw(...).

The following new quotelike operators are created:

qwr(...)

This behaves in the same way as qw(...) except that it returns an array reference instead of a list.

Mnemonic: qw that returns a reference

qhr(...)

This behaves in the same way as qw(...) except that it returns a hash reference instead of a list.

Mnemonic: quote for hash references

CAVEATS

Since this module is based on source filtering, if you have the strings 'qwr' or 'qhr' anywhere in your code, you will get unexpected results.

FAQ

Why? Seems pointless.

I originally created this module as an experiment to familiarize myself with creating a CPAN module. With that in mind, I chose something silly and limited in scope. I don't expect anyone'll actually use it. :)
