5 Tie::SubstrHash - Fixed-table-size, fixed-key-length hashing
9 require Tie::SubstrHash;
11 tie %myhash, 'Tie::SubstrHash', $key_len, $value_len, $table_size;
15 The B<Tie::SubstrHash> package provides a hash-table-like interface to
16 an array of determinate size, with constant key size and record size.
18 Upon tying a new hash to this package, the developer must specify the
19 size of the keys that will be used, the size of the value fields that the
20 keys will index, and the size of the overall table (in terms of key-value
21 pairs, not size in hard memory). I<These values will not change for the
22 duration of the tied hash>. The newly-allocated hash table may now have
23 data stored and retrieved. Efforts to store more than C<$table_size>
24 elements will result in a fatal error, as will efforts to store a value
25 not exactly C<$value_len> characters in length, or reference through a
26 key not exactly C<$key_len> characters in length. While these constraints
27 may seem excessive, the result is a hash table using much less internal
28 memory than an equivalent freely-allocated hash table.
32 Because the current implementation uses the table and key sizes for the
33 hashing algorithm, there is no means by which to dynamically change the
34 value of any of the initialization parameters.
36 The hash does not support exists().
