=head1 NAME

Hash::Rename - Rename hash keys

=head1 VERSION

version 1.100860

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Hash::Rename;

    my %hash = (
        '-noforce' => 1,
        scheme     => 'http'
    );
    hash_rename %hash, code => sub { s/^(?!-)/-/ };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Using this module you can rename a hash's keys in place.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 hash_rename

This function is automatically exported. It takes a hash to rename and another
hash of instructions on how to rename they keys.

The syntax is like this:

    hash_rename %hash, key1 => 'value1', keys2 => 'value2';

The following instructions are supported:

=over 4

=item C<prepend>

    hash_rename %hash, prepend => '-';

The given value is prepended to each hash key.

=item C<append>

    hash_rename %hash, append => '-';

The given value is appended to each hash key.

=item C<code>

    hash_rename %hash, code => sub { s/^(?!-)/-/ };

Each hash key is localized to C<$_> and subjected to the code. Its new value
is the result of C<$_> after the code has been executed.

=item C<strict>

If present and set to a true value, the resulting keys are checked for
duplicates. C<hash_rename()> will die if it detects a duplicate resulting hash
key. They keys of the hash to change are processed in alphabetical order.

=back

If several instructions are given, they are processed in the order in which
they are described above. So you can have:

    hash_rename %hash, prepend => '-', append => '=';
