NAME

Hash::Identity - Get a hash that always returns the key

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Hash::Identity qw(e);

print "The result is: $e{ 1 + 2 }\n";
print "sin(1) = $e{ sin(1) }\n";

# Or you wish to import multiple. though I think one is usually sufficient.

use Hash::Identity qw(ident expr);

print "You could use expr like this: $expr{2**3}.\n";
print "Or you could use ident $ident{ 'a' . 'b' } as well.\n";

# NOTE

use Hash::Identity qw(e);
print "If you want to just call a sub without params. Don't use $e{ rand }. Use $e{ rand() } instead.\n";

DESCRIPTION

To get a hash that always returns the key.

A hash that always returns the key is useful when interpolating EXPR in a double quoted string.

This module uses Tie::Hash::Identity to achieve this, and provides a better importing interface.

EXPORT

This module will not export anything by default. You could assign each name you want to use like this:

use Hash::Identity qw(a b c);

Then you will have identity hash %a, %b, and %c.
