NAME
Data::Multihash - A hash table that supports multiple values per key.
SYNOPSIS
use Data::Multihash;
my $multihash = Data::Multihash->new();
$multihash->insert(key => 'value', key => 'other_value');
$multihash->insert(other_key => 'value');
print 'There are ' . $multihash->size . ' elements in the multihash.';DESCRIPTION
This module implements a multihash, which maps keys to sets of values. Multihashes are unordered.
CONSTRUCTORS
new()
Create a new empty multihash.
INSTANCE METHODS
insert(%pairs)
Insert key-value pairs.
remove_key(@keys), remove_keys(@keys)
Remove all given keys and their values.
remove_value(@values), remove_values(@values)
Remove all given values from the multihash.
remove_pair(%pairs), remove_pairs(%pairs)
Remove all given (key, value) pairs from the multiset.
elements($key)
Return all elements associated with a key.
values
Return all values in the multihash as a list.
size
Return the number of values in the multihash.
THREAD SAFETY
It is not safe to access a single multihash from multiple threads.
