in thread Is there any difference between prototype % and @ ?

It's meant to be compatible with the standard interface!

You might remember that map, sort and grep can be chained and they always accept and return lists...

    Hm. Passing a listified hash (mixed keys and values in random order) to any of those constructs is a completely pointless exercise.

    That is after all, why you are having to define an hgrep yourself.

    Better methinks to pass hgrep and hmap a reference to the hash, call the callback with pairs, and have them return a list.

    At least then they serve a purpose:

    #! perl -slw use strict; use Data::Dump qw[ pp ]; sub hgrep (&\%) { my( $code, $href ) = @_; map{ local @_; $code->( @_ = each %$href ) ? @_ : () } 1 .. keys %$href; } sub hmap (&\%) { my( $code, $href ) = @_; map{ local @_; $code->( @_ = each %$href ) } 1 .. keys %$href; } my %h = 'a'..'z'; print join ' ', hgrep{ $_[0] =~ /[a-m]/ } %h; print join ' ', hmap{ "$_[0] => $_[1]" } %h; my %orig = ( cat => 22, dog => 23, category => 66, catalyst => 77, cataclysm => 88, dogma => 89, dogstar => 92, ); my %h2 = hgrep{ $_[0] =~ /^cat/ } %orig; pp\%h2; __END__ C:\test>hfp e f a b m n c d k l g h i j w => x e => f a => b m => n s => t y => z u => v c => d k => l q => r +g => h i => j o => p { cat => 22, cataclysm => 88, catalyst => 77, category => 66 }

    hsort is left as an exercise.

      BrowserUk: Your implementation of  hmap and  hgrep is a little tricky, but I certainly wouldn't describe it as 'quite obfuscated'! However...

      sub hmap (&\%) { my( $code, $href ) = @_; map{ local @_; $code->( @_ = each %$href ) } 1 .. keys %$href; }

      In the code above, I don't see the point of local-izing  @_ and then assigning  each to it. Passing the return of  each %$href 'directly' to the coderef seems to work just as well.

      >perl -wMstrict -MData::Dump -le "sub hmap (&\%) { my( $code, $href ) = @_; map{ $code->(each %$href) } 1 .. keys %$href; } ;; my %h = 'a'..'z'; ;; print join ' ', hmap { qq{$_[0] => $_[1]} } %h; ;; my %orig = ( cat => 22, dog => 23, category => 66, catalyst => 77, cataclysm => 88, dogma => 89, dogstar => 92, ); my %h2 = hmap { $_[0], $_[1] + $_[1] } %orig; dd \%h2; " w => x e => f a => b m => n s => t y => z u => v c => d k => l q => r +g => h i => j o => p { cat => 44, cataclysm => 176, catalyst => 154, category => 132, dog => 46, dogma => 178, dogstar => 184, }

        You're right! It's a left-over from starting with a copy of hgrep where I needed to keep a copy of the pair in order to return it conditionally.

        Thanks for pointing out the simplification.

      This can't be chained at least not easily w/o more transformations in the middle.

      your input is a hashref your output a list ...

      and your code is quite obfuscated...

      ... though ++ for creative use of each within map.

        Show me an example of one of these mythical chains over a listified hash? (One that makes some sense!)

        and your code is quite obfuscated...

        Hm. You find that "obfuscated"? I always rated you as one of the more adept perlers.

        Besides, isn't a big part of the purpose of subroutines to hide the "difficult stuff", in order to simplify the code that calls it?

        though ++ for creative use of each within map.

        Thanks. The same method works with hsort to make sorting hashes a breeze:

        sub hsort (&\%) { my( $code, $href ) = @_; sort( $code map[ each %$href ], 1 .. keys %$href ); } my %orig = ( cat => 22, dog => 23, category => 66, catalyst => 77, cataclysm => 88, dogma => 89, dogstar => 92, ); ## Oh look! A chain :) print 'sorted by key: ', map "$_->[0]=>$_->[1] ", hsort{ $a->[0] cmp $ +b->[0] } %orig; print 'sorted by val: ', map "$_->[0]=>$_->[1] ", hsort{ $a->[1] <=> $ +b->[1] } %orig; C:\test>hFP.pl sorted by key: cat=>22 cataclysm=>88 catalyst=>77 category=>66 dog=>23 + dogma=>89 dogstar=>92 sorted by val: cat=>22 dog=>23 category=>66 catalyst=>77 cataclysm=>88 + dogma=>89 dogstar=>92
