19
778e8f97 20This module provides the ability to use references as hash keys if you
21first C<tie> the hash variable to this module. Normally, only the
22keys of the tied hash itself are preserved as references; to use
23references as keys in hashes-of-hashes, use Tie::RefHash::Nestable,
8b2fd6cc 24included as part of Tie::RefHash.
5f05dabc 25
26It is implemented using the standard perl TIEHASH interface. Please
27see the C<tie> entry in perlfunc(1) and perltie(1) for more information.
28
778e8f97 29The Nestable version works by looking for hash references being stored
30and converting them to tied hashes so that they too can have
31references as keys. This will happen without warning whenever you
32store a reference to one of your own hashes in the tied hash.
33
5f05dabc 34=head1 EXAMPLE
35
36 use Tie::RefHash;
37 tie %h, 'Tie::RefHash';
38 $a = [];
39 $b = {};
40 $c = \*main;
41 $d = \"gunk";
42 $e = sub { 'foo' };
43 %h = ($a => 1, $b => 2, $c => 3, $d => 4, $e => 5);
44 $a->[0] = 'foo';
45 $b->{foo} = 'bar';
46 for (keys %h) {
47 print ref($_), "\n";
48 }
49
778e8f97 50 tie %h, 'Tie::RefHash::Nestable';
51 $h{$a}->{$b} = 1;
52 for (keys %h, keys %{$h{$a}}) {
53 print ref($_), "\n";
54 }
