| Subject: | feature request: prepend_hash() |
Hello,
I was very happy to come across your module! It'd be nice to have a way to add a has to the
beginning of the stack in addition adding one to the end.
i.e. prepend_hash() would be like add_hash() but add the hash to the beginning of the stack.
That way we can load up "global defaults" as the only hash. then on an as needed basis,
prepend a smaller hash of overrides before it.
e.g.
.... initialize ....
my $hash_tie_ref = tie my %hash, 'Tie::Proxy::Hash', ('main_defaults' => { 'notify' => 0,
'verbose' => 0, });
.... start a given context, a request of some sort .... $hash{'verbose'} is '0'
$hash_tie_ref->prepend_hash('context_values', { 'verbose' => 1,});
.... do work in this context .... $hash{'verbose'} is '1'
$hash_tie_ref->remove_hash('context_values');
... $hash{'verbose'} is '0' again
I'd be happy to do the work (and maybe modernize the code a bit) if you'd like to make me
co-maintainer via pause. my cpan id is dmuey. no worries if not, it'd just be nice to have prepend_hash() ;p
thanks!
