USAGE

build_uri

build_uri( $uri, \%params )

Append parameters to a uri. Parameters whose values are array refs will expand to include all values.

Example:

my %params = ( foo => "What's up, doc?",
               b => [ 1, 2, 3 ]
             );
my $uri = build_uri( "http://example.com/index.pl?foo=bar", \%params );
# $uri eq "http://example.com/index.pl?foo=bar&foo=What's+up%2C+Doc%3F$b=1&b=2&b=3

cat

my $stuff = cat $file;
my $stuff = cat \$mode, $file;

Read in the entirety of a file. If requested in list context, the lines are returned. In scalar context, the file is returned as one large string. If a string reference $mode is provided as a first argument it will be taken as the file mode (the default is "<").

TRUE

TRUE $hash_ref, qw| key1 arbitrarily/deep/key |;
TRUE $hash_ref, @paths, { sep => $separator, false_pat => $pattern };

Safely test for deep key truth. Recursion happens by splitting on $separator ("/" by default, set $separator to undef to disable this behavior), there is no means for escaping. Returns true only if all keys exist and are true. Values matched by $pattern (^(?i:false)$ by default) as well as an empty list or empty hash will all cause 0 to be returned. Array refs are allowed if corresponding path components are numeric.

HAS

HAS $hash_ref, qw| key1 arbitrarily/deep/key |;
HAS $hash_ref, @paths, { sep => $separator };

Safely test for deep key definedness. Recursion happens by splitting on $separator ("/" by default), there is no means for escaping. Returns true only if all keys exist and are defined. Array refs are allowed if corresponding path components are numeric.
