Tie::Hash::FixedKeys -------------------- NAME Tie::Hash::FixedKeys DESCRIPTION WHAT IS Tie::Hash::FixedKeys? Tie::Hash::FixedKeys is a Perl module which extends the functionality of Perl hashes so that they can have a fixed set of keys. HOW DO I INSTALL IT? Tie::Hash::FixedKeys uses the standard Perl module architecture and can therefore be installed using the standard Perl method which, in brief, goes something like this: gzip -cd Tie-Hash-FixedKeys-X.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd Tie-Hash-FixedKeys-X.XX perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Where X.XX is the version number of the module which you are installing. If this doesn't work for you then creating a directory called Tie/Hash somewhere in your Perl library path (@INC) and copying the FixedKeys.pm file into this directory should also do the trick. WHERE IS THE DOCUMENTATION? All of the documentation is currently in POD format in the FixedKeys.pm file. If you install the module using the standard method you should be able to read it by typing perldoc Tie::Hash::FixedKeys at a command prompt. LATEST VERSION The latest version of this module will always be available from CPAN. COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2001, Magnum Solutions Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
