NAME

Data::Perl::Collection::Hash::AutoFlatten - Like Collection::Hash, but flattened.

VERSION

version 0.001005

SYNOPSIS

  use aliased 'Data::Perl::Collection::Hash::AutoFlatten';

  my $hash = Hash->new(qw/a b c d/);

  $hash->keys; # returns qw/a c/

  $hash->keys->count; # doesn't work

DESCRIPTION

This class wraps Data::Perl::Collection::Hash to ensure all methods that could otherwise return a Collection::Hash or Collection::Array object will instead return a real perl hash or array. As a result, chaining methods is impossible.

WRAPPED METHODS

• get($value, $value, ....)

  When more than one value is passed in, an array is returned instead of a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object.

• set($value, $value, ....)

  In list context, instead of returning a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object, a real array is returned.

• delete

  In list context, instead of returning a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object of deleted items, a real array is returned.

• keys

  In list context, instead of returning a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object of items, a real array is returned.

• kv

  In list context, instead of returning a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object of items, a real array is returned.

• elements

  In list context, instead of returning a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object of items, a real array is returned.
