NAME Tie::Hash::StructKeyed - use structures like hashes and arrays as keys to a hash SYNOPSIS use Tie::Hash::StructKeyed; tie %hash, 'Tie::Hash::StructKeyed'; $hash{[1,2,3]} = 'Keyed by listref'; my $h = { one=>1, two=>2 }; $hash{$h} = 'Keyed by hashref'; DESCRIPTION Tie::Hash::StructKeyed ties a hash so that you can use arrays, hashes or complex structures as the key of the hash. NOTE The current implementation uses YAML to generate the hash-key for the structure. This is possibly the easiest way to get a powerful and flexible key-hashing behaviour. It does mean that the behaviour for objects is undefined: Two objects with the same representation will hash the same. The same object, after an internal state change may hash differently. Behaviour of objects as keys (or as part of a key) is subject to change in future versions.
