NAME
Hash::Iter - Generate a coderef iterator for a hash
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of Hash::Iter (from Perl
distribution Hash-Iter), released on 2024-11-04.
SYNOPSIS
use Hash::Iter qw(hash_iter pair_iter);
my $iter = hash_iter({1,2,3,4,5,6});
while (my ($key,$val) = $iter->()) { ... }
$iter = pair_iter(1,2,3,4,5,6);
while (my ($key,$val) = $iter->()) { ... }
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple iterator which is a coderef that you can
call repeatedly to get pairs of a hash/hashref. When the pairs are
exhausted, the coderef will return undef. No class/object involved.
The principle is very simple and you can do it yourself with:
my $iter = do {
my $hash = shift;
my $i = 0;
my @ary = keys %$hash;
sub {
if ($i < @ary) {
my $key = $ary[$i++];
return ($key, $hash->{$key});
} else {
return undef;
}
};
}
Caveat: if list/array contains an "undef" element, it cannot be
distinguished with an exhausted iterator.
FUNCTIONS
hash_iter($hashref) => coderef
pair_iter(@pairs) => coderef

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
