CONTENTS 1. DESCRIPTION 2. INSTALLATION 3. COPYRIGHT -------------- 1. DESCRIPTION -------------- Tie::Hash::Indexed is very similar to Tie::IxHash. However, it is written completely in XS and usually about twice as fast as Tie::IxHash. It's quite a lot faster when it comes to clearing or deleting entries from large hashes. Currently, only the plain tying mechanism is supported. --------------- 2. INSTALLATION --------------- Installation of the Tie::Hash::Indexed module follows the standard Perl Way and should not be harder than: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Note that you may need to become superuser to 'make install'. If you're building the module under Windows, you may need to use a different make program, such as 'nmake', instead of 'make'. ------------ 3.
