Description :
Hashes are great for storing named data, but if you want more than one entry for a name, you have to use a list of pairs. Even then, this is really boring to write:
$values = [ foo => undef, bar => undef, baz => undef, xyz => { ... }, ];
Just look at all those undefs! Don\'t worry, we can get rid of those:
$values = [ map { $_ => undef } qw(foo bar baz), xyz => { ... }, ];
Aaaauuugh! We\'ve saved a little typing, but now it requires thought to read, and thinking is even worse than typing... and it\'s got a bug! It looked right, didn\'t it? Well, the \'xyz => { ... }\' gets consumed by the map, and we don\'t get the data we wanted.
With Data::OptList, you can do this instead:
$values = Data::OptList::mkopt([ qw(foo bar baz), xyz => { ... }, ]);
This works by assuming that any defined scalar is a name and any reference following a name is its value.
