DESCRIPTION

List::Util::WeightedRoundRobin is a utility for creating a weighted list based on the input and associated weights.

METHOD

new

Constructs a new List::Util::WeightedRoundRobin and returns it. Takes no arguments.

create_weighted_list

Takes an array reference as an argument. The array reference must contain hash entries which have a 'name' and 'weight' key.

If the sources are valid and a weighted list has been created, the method will return a weighted list. In the case of an error, the returned list will be empty.
