NAME Acme::CPANModules::RemovingElementsFromArray - List of modules to help remove elements from array VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::RemovingElementsFromArray (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-RemovingElementsFromArray), released on 2023-09-30. DESCRIPTION Perl provides several ways to remove elements from an array. "shift" removes one element from the beginning, "pop" removes one element from the end, and "splice" can remove a slice of array (and insert another list in its place). There's also the venerable "grep", which lets you filter a list with a user-supplied code. While this does not directly modify an array, you can simply assign the new filtered values to the array. And I might just as well mention array slice (@ary[1,3,4] or @ary[1..4]) to just pick the range of elements you want by their indices. In addition to the above, there are also other modules which provide some convenience. Removing duplicate items List::Util provides "uniq" (as well as "uniqnum", "uniqint", "uniqstr") to remove duplicate items from a list. There's also List::Util::Uniq providing "dupe", "dupenum", "dupeint", and "dupestr", which return the duplicates instead. Removing overlapped items Array::OverlapFinder lets you find overlapping items from a series of arrays and optionally remove them. Variations of "grep" Some modules offer variations of "grep". For example, Array::KeepGrepped keeps the elements that are filtered out instead those that match the grep expression. List::Util::sglice offers "sglice", which removes elements that matches user-supplied code, except that "sglice" (like "splice") allows you to specify a limit to the number of elements to remove. mapslice List::Util::mapsplice offers "mapsplice", which removes a slice of array but lets you replace each element with new elements using Perl code.

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n RemovingElementsFromArray Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries RemovingElementsFromArray | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=RemovingElementsFromArray -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::RemovingElementsFromArray -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::RemovingElementsFromArray::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by perlancar .
