CONTENTS
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.
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'.
You can enable or disable certain features at compile time by adding options to the Makefile.PL call. However, you can safely leave them at their default.
Currently, the only available feature is 'debug' to build the module with debugging support. If your perl binary was already built with debugging support, the 'debug' feature is enabled by default.
You can enable or disable features explicitly by adding the arguments
enable-feature
disable-feature
to the Makefile.PL call. To explicitly build the module with debugging enabled, you would say:
perl Makefile.PL enable-debug
This will still allow you to pass other 'standard' arguments to Makefile.PL, like
perl Makefile.PL enable-debug OPTIMIZE=-O3
