=head1 NAME
List::MoreUtils - Provide the stuff missing in List::Util
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use List::MoreUtils qw{
any all none notall true false
firstidx first_index lastidx last_index
insert_after insert_after_string
apply indexes
after after_incl before before_incl
firstval first_value lastval last_value

pairwise natatime
mesh zip uniq distinct minmax part
};
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<List::MoreUtils> provides some trivial but commonly needed functionality on
lists which is not going to go into L<List::Util>.
All of the below functions are implementable in only a couple of lines of Perl
code. Using the functions from this module however should give slightly better
performance as everything is implemented in C. The pure-Perl implementation of
these functions only serves as a fallback in case the C portions of this module
couldn't be compiled on this machine.
=over 4
=item any BLOCK LIST
Returns a true value if any item in LIST meets the criterion given through
BLOCK. Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn:
print "At least one value undefined"
if any { ! defined($_) } @list;
Returns false otherwise, or if LIST is empty.
=item all BLOCK LIST
Returns a true value if all items in LIST meet the criterion given through
BLOCK, or if LIST is empty. Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn:
print "All items defined"
if all { defined($_) } @list;
Returns false otherwise.
=item none BLOCK LIST
Logically the negation of C<any>. Returns a true value if no item in LIST meets
the criterion given through BLOCK, or if LIST is empty. Sets C<$_> for each item
in LIST in turn:
print "No value defined"
if none { defined($_) } @list;
Returns false otherwise.
=item notall BLOCK LIST
Logically the negation of C<all>. Returns a true value if not all items in LIST
meet the criterion given through BLOCK. Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in
turn:
print "Not all values defined"
if notall { defined($_) } @list;
Returns false otherwise, or if LIST is empty.
=item true BLOCK LIST
Counts the number of elements in LIST for which the criterion in BLOCK is true.
Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn:
printf "%i item(s) are defined", true { defined($_) } @list;
=item false BLOCK LIST
Counts the number of elements in LIST for which the criterion in BLOCK is false.
Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn:
printf "%i item(s) are not defined", false { defined($_) } @list;
=item firstidx BLOCK LIST
=item first_index BLOCK LIST
Returns the index of the first element in LIST for which the criterion in BLOCK
is true. Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn:
my @list = (1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 6);
printf "item with index %i in list is 4", firstidx { $_ == 4 } @list;
__END__
item with index 1 in list is 4
Returns C<-1> if no such item could be found.
C<first_index> is an alias for C<firstidx>.
=item lastidx BLOCK LIST
=item last_index BLOCK LIST
Returns the index of the last element in LIST for which the criterion in BLOCK
is true. Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn:
my @list = (1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 6);
printf "item with index %i in list is 4", lastidx { $_ == 4 } @list;
__END__
item with index 4 in list is 4
Returns C<-1> if no such item could be found.
C<last_index> is an alias for C<lastidx>.
=item insert_after BLOCK VALUE LIST
Inserts VALUE after the first item in LIST for which the criterion in BLOCK is
true. Sets C<$_> for each item in LIST in turn.
my @list = qw/This is a list/;
insert_after { $_ eq "a" } "longer" => @list;
print "@list";
__END__
This is a longer list
=item insert_after_string STRING VALUE LIST
Inserts VALUE after the first item in LIST which is equal to STRING.
my @list = qw/This is a list/;
insert_after_string "a", "longer" => @list;
print "@list";
__END__
This is a longer list
=item apply BLOCK LIST
Applies BLOCK to each item in LIST and returns a list of the values after BLOCK
has been applied. In scalar context, the last element is returned. This
function is similar to C<map> but will not modify the elements of the input
list:
my @list = (1 .. 4);
my @mult = apply { $_ *= 2 } @list;
print "\@list = @list\n";
print "\@mult = @mult\n";
__END__
@list = 1 2 3 4
@mult = 2 4 6 8
Think of it as syntactic sugar for
for (my @mult = @list) { $_ *= 2 }
=item before BLOCK LIST
Returns a list of values of LIST upto (and not including) the point where BLOCK
returns a true value. Sets C<$_> for each element in LIST in turn.
=item before_incl BLOCK LIST
Same as C<before> but also includes the element for which BLOCK is true.
=item after BLOCK LIST
Returns a list of the values of LIST after (and not including) the point
where BLOCK returns a true value. Sets C<$_> for each element in LIST in turn.
@x = after { $_ % 5 == 0 } (1..9); # returns 6, 7, 8, 9
=item after_incl BLOCK LIST
Same as C<after> but also inclues the element for which BLOCK is true.
=item indexes BLOCK LIST
Evaluates BLOCK for each element in LIST (assigned to C<$_>) and returns a list
of the indices of those elements for which BLOCK returned a true value. This is
just like C<grep> only that it returns indices instead of values:
@x = indexes { $_ % 2 == 0 } (1..10); # returns 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
=item firstval BLOCK LIST
=item first_value BLOCK LIST
Returns the first element in LIST for which BLOCK evaluates to true. Each
element of LIST is set to C<$_> in turn. Returns C<undef> if no such element
has been found.
C<first_val> is an alias for C<firstval>.
=item lastval BLOCK LIST
=item last_value BLOCK LIST
Returns the last value in LIST for which BLOCK evaluates to true. Each element
of LIST is set to C<$_> in turn. Returns C<undef> if no such element has been
found.
C<last_val> is an alias for C<lastval>.
=item pairwise BLOCK ARRAY1 ARRAY2
Evaluates BLOCK for each pair of elements in ARRAY1 and ARRAY2 and returns a
new list consisting of BLOCK's return values. The two elements are set to C<$a>
and C<$b>. Note that those two are aliases to the original value so changing
them will modify the input arrays.
@a = (1 .. 5);
@b = (11 .. 15);
@x = pairwise { $a + $b } @a, @b; # returns 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
# mesh with pairwise
@a = qw/a b c/;
@b = qw/1 2 3/;
@x = pairwise { ($a, $b) } @a, @b; # returns a, 1, b, 2, c, 3
=item each_array ARRAY1 ARRAY2 ...
Creates an array iterator to return the elements of the list of arrays ARRAY1,
ARRAY2 throughout ARRAYn in turn. That is, the first time it is called, it
returns the first element of each array. The next time, it returns the second
elements. And so on, until all elements are exhausted.
This is useful for looping over more than one array at once:
my $ea = each_array(@a, @b, @c);
while ( my ($a, $b, $c) = $ea->() ) { .... }
The iterator returns the empty list when it reached the end of all arrays.
If the iterator is passed an argument of 'C<index>', then it retuns
the index of the last fetched set of values, as a scalar.
=item each_arrayref LIST
Like each_array, but the arguments are references to arrays, not the
plain arrays.
=item natatime EXPR, LIST
Creates an array iterator, for looping over an array in chunks of
C<$n> items at a time. (n at a time, get it?). An example is
probably a better explanation than I could give in words.
Example:
my @x = ('a' .. 'g');
my $it = natatime 3, @x;
while (my @vals = $it->())
{
print "@vals\n";
}
This prints
a b c
d e f
g
=item mesh ARRAY1 ARRAY2 [ ARRAY3 ... ]
=item zip ARRAY1 ARRAY2 [ ARRAY3 ... ]
Returns a list consisting of the first elements of each array, then
the second, then the third, etc, until all arrays are exhausted.
Examples:
@x = qw/a b c d/;
@y = qw/1 2 3 4/;
@z = mesh @x, @y; # returns a, 1, b, 2, c, 3, d, 4
@a = ('x');
@b = ('1', '2');
@c = qw/zip zap zot/;
@d = mesh @a, @b, @c; # x, 1, zip, undef, 2, zap, undef, undef, zot
C<zip> is an alias for C<mesh>.
=item uniq LIST
=item distinct LIST
Returns a new list by stripping duplicate values in LIST. The order of
elements in the returned list is the same as in LIST. In scalar context,
returns the number of unique elements in LIST.
my @x = uniq 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 3, 4; # returns 1 2 3 5 4
my $x = uniq 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 3, 4; # returns 5
=item minmax LIST
Calculates the minimum and maximum of LIST and returns a two element list with
the first element being the minimum and the second the maximum. Returns the
empty list if LIST was empty.
The C<minmax> algorithm differs from a naive iteration over the list where each
element is compared to two values being the so far calculated min and max value
in that it only requires 3n/2 - 2 comparisons. Thus it is the most efficient
possible algorithm.
However, the Perl implementation of it has some overhead simply due to the fact
that there are more lines of Perl code involved. Therefore, LIST needs to be
fairly big in order for C<minmax> to win over a naive implementation. This
limitation does not apply to the XS version.
=item part BLOCK LIST
Partitions LIST based on the return value of BLOCK which denotes into which
partition the current value is put.
Returns a list of the partitions thusly created. Each partition created is a
reference to an array.
my $i = 0;
my @part = part { $i++ % 2 } 1 .. 8; # returns [1, 3, 5, 7], [2, 4, 6, 8]
You can have a sparse list of partitions as well where non-set partitions will
be undef:
my @part = part { 2 } 1 .. 10; # returns undef, undef, [ 1 .. 10 ]
Be careful with negative values, though:
my @part = part { -1 } 1 .. 10;
__END__
Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 ...
Negative values are only ok when they refer to a partition previously created:
my @idx = ( 0, 1, -1 );
my $i = 0;
my @part = part { $idx[$++ % 3] } 1 .. 8; # [1, 4, 7], [2, 3, 5, 6, 8]

=head1 EXPORTS
Nothing by default. To import all of this module's symbols, do the conventional
use List::MoreUtils ':all';
It may make more sense though to only import the stuff your program actually
needs:
use List::MoreUtils qw{ any firstidx };
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
When C<LIST_MOREUTILS_PP> is set, the module will always use the pure-Perl
implementation and not the XS one. This environment variable is really just
there for the test-suite to force testing the Perl implementation, and possibly
for reporting of bugs. I don't see any reason to use it in a production
environment.
=head1 BUGS
There is a problem with a bug in 5.6.x perls. It is a syntax error to write
things like:
my @x = apply { s/foo/bar/ } qw{ foo bar baz };
It has to be written as either
my @x = apply { s/foo/bar/ } 'foo', 'bar', 'baz';
or
my @x = apply { s/foo/bar/ } my @dummy = qw/foo bar baz/;
Perl 5.5.x and Perl 5.8.x don't suffer from this limitation.
If you have a functionality that you could imagine being in this module, please
drop me a line. This module's policy will be less strict than L<List::Util>'s
when it comes to additions as it isn't a core module.
When you report bugs, it would be nice if you could additionally give me the
output of your program with the environment variable C<LIST_MOREUTILS_PP> set
to a true value. That way I know where to look for the problem (in XS,
pure-Perl or possibly both).
=head1 SUPPORT
Bugs should always be submitted via the CPAN bug tracker.
L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=List-MoreUtils>
=head1 THANKS
Credits go to a number of people: Steve Purkis for giving me namespace advice
and James Keenan and Terrence Branno for their effort of keeping the CPAN
tidier by making L<List::Utils> obsolete.
Brian McCauley suggested the inclusion of apply() and provided the pure-Perl
implementation for it.
Eric J. Roode asked me to add all functions from his module C<List::MoreUtil>
into this one. With minor modifications, the pure-Perl implementations of those
are by him.
The bunch of people who almost immediately pointed out the many problems with
the glitchy 0.07 release (Slaven Rezic, Ron Savage, CPAN testers).
A particularly nasty memory leak was spotted by Thomas A. Lowery.
Lars Thegler made me aware of problems with older Perl versions.
Anno Siegel de-orphaned each_arrayref().
David Filmer made me aware of a problem in each_arrayref that could ultimately
lead to a segfault.
Ricardo Signes suggested the inclusion of part() and provided the
Perl-implementation.
Robin Huston kindly fixed a bug in perl's MULTICALL API to make the
XS-implementation of part() work.
=head1 TODO
A pile of requests from other people is still pending further processing in
my mailbox. This includes:
=over 4
=item * List::Util export pass-through
Allow B<List::MoreUtils> to pass-through the regular L<List::Util>
functions to end users only need to C<use> the one module.
=item * uniq_by(&@)
Use code-reference to extract a key based on which the uniqueness is
determined. Suggested by Aaron Crane.
=item * delete_index
=item * random_item
=item * random_item_delete_index
=item * list_diff_hash
=item * list_diff_inboth
=item * list_diff_infirst
=item * list_diff_insecond
These were all suggested by Dan Muey.
=item * listify
Always return a flat list when either a simple scalar value was passed or an
array-reference. Suggested by Mark Summersault.
