NAME
List::Priority - Perl extension for a list that manipulates objects by their priority
SYNOPSIS
use List::Priority;
# Create an instance
my $list = List::Priority->new();
# Insert some elements, each woth a unique priority
$list->insert(2,'World!');
$list->insert(5,'Hello');
$list->insert(3,' ');
# Print
while (my $element = $list->pop()) {
print $element;
}
DESCRIPTION
If you want to handle multiple data bits by their order of importance - This one's for you.
Logic: Precedence to highest priority object. If more than one object hold the highest priority - FIFO is king.
Duplicate objects are currently not allowed.
I'd like to thank Joseph N. Hall and Randal L. Schwartz for their excellent book "Effective Perl Programming" for one of the code hacks...
