[Templates] Adding delete method to HASH_OPS

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/10/18]

Hi,

As above, I want a delete method for a hash key - ideally
Myhash.mykey.delete But that I guess would be a scalar method. So I'm
settling on Myhash.delete ("mykey")

I know I can manipulate the stash by doing something like:

$Template::Stash::HASH_OPS->{ reverse } = sub {
	my $h = shift;
	my %r = reverse %{$h};
	\%r;
};

 but, I want to modify the source so it will be available in all perl
programs without me having to do the above. So, I have

    'delete'  => sub {  
    	my ($hash, $key) = @_; 
    	delete $hash->{$key};
		undef;
    },

In $HASH_OPS in Stash.pm, but although this seems to work obviously it
working on a local copy of the hash. I don't like this syntax (although it
works) - Myhash = Myhash.delete ("mykey")

Is this the best way to approach the problem?

Cheers, jamie
