CoVAX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Which Perl module is recommended for maintaining insertion order with a hash? The application I'm working on requires about 800-to-1,200 records (as hashes themselves) acquired from disparate sources to be stored in a hash (for fast searching by key) in a certain order (e.g., chronological or sequential). I'm developing with ActivePerl 5.18.4 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int although the code will also be running on CentOS 6 (64-bit) also. I've already looked in Perl's /lib and /site/lib for a standard ("comes with" Perl) module (no joy; /site/lib is empty and /lib had Hash::Util, which does not offer what I need). I also searched CPAN, but there were so many to choose from I thought it better to ask here for guidance. I thank you for your time.
Searched for donut and crumpit. Found donate and stumbit instead.
