=head2 gcd

I< C<">The Euclidean algorithm (also called Euclid's algorithm) is an
algorithm to determine the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two
integers. It is one of the oldest algorithms known, since it appeared
in the classic Euclid's Elements around 300 BC. The algorithm does not
require factoring.C<"> >

B<Input:> two or more positive numbers (integers, without decimals that is)

B<Output:> an integer

B<Example:>

  print gcd(12, 8);   # prints 4

Because the (prime number) factors of  12  is  2 * 2 * 3 and the factors of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2
and the common ('overlapping') factors for both 12 and 8 is then 2 * 2 and the result becomes 4.

B<Example two>:

  print gcd(90, 135, 315);               # prints 45
  print gcd(2*3*3*5, 3*3*3*5, 3*3*5*7);  # prints 45 ( = 3*3*5 which is common to all three args)

Implementation:

 sub gcd { my($a,$b,@r)=@_; @r ? gcd($a,gcd($b,@r)) : $b==0 ? $a : gcd($b, $a % $b) }

One way of putting it: Keep replacing the larger of the two numbers with the difference between them until you got two equal numbers. Then thats the answer.

L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor>

L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm>

=cut

sub gcd { my($a,$b,@r)=@_; @r ? gcd($a,gcd($b,@r)) : $b==0 ? $a : gcd($b, $a % $b) }
#hm sub gcd { my($a,$b)=@_; ($a,$b)=($b,$a%$b) while $b; $a }

=head2 lcm

C<lcm()> finds the Least Common Multiple of two or more numbers (integers).

B<Input:> two or more positive numbers (integers)

B<Output:> an integer number

Example: C< 2/21 + 1/6 = 4/42 + 7/42 = 11/42>

Where 42 = lcm(21,6).

B<Example:>

  print lcm(45,120,75);   # prints 1800

Because the factors are:

  45 = 2^0 * 3^2 * 5^1
 120 = 2^3 * 3^1 * 5^1
  75 = 2^0 * 3^1 * 5^2

Take the bigest power of each primary number (2, 3 and 5 here).
Which is 2^3, 3^2 and 5^2. Multiplied this is 8 * 9 * 25 = 1800.

 sub lcm { my($a,$b,@r)=@_; @r ? lcm($a,lcm($b,@r)) : $a*$b/gcd($a,$b) }

Seems to works with L<Math::BigInt> as well: (C<lcm> of all integers from 1 to 200)

 perl -MAcme::Tools -MMath::BigInt -le'print lcm(map Math::BigInt->new($_),1..200)'

sub lcm { my($a,$b,@r)=@_; @r ? lcm($a,lcm($b,@r)) : $a*$b/gcd($a,$b) }

=head2 resolve

Resolves an equation by Newtons method.

B<Input:> 1-6 arguments. At least one argument.

First argument: must be a coderef to a subroutine (a function)

Second argument: if present, the target, f(x)=target. Default 0.

Third argument: a start position for x. Default 0.

Fourth argument: a small delta value. Default 1e-4 (0.0001).

Fifth argument: a maximum number of iterations before resolve gives up
and carps. Default 100 (if fifth argument is not given or is
undef). The number 0 means infinite here.  If the derivative of the
start position is zero or close to zero more iterations are typically
needed.

Sixth argument: A number of seconds to run before giving up.  If both
fifth and sixth argument is given and > 0, C<resolve> stops at
whichever comes first.

B<Output:> returns the number C<x> for C<f(x)> = 0

...or equal to the second input argument if present.

B<Example:>

The equation C<< x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0 >> has two solutions: -3 and 7.

The result of C<resolve> will depend on the start position:

 print resolve(sub{ $_**2 - 4*$_ - 21 });                     # -3 with $_ as your x
 print resolve(sub{ my $x=shift; $x**2 - 4*$x - 21 });        # -3 more elaborate call
 print resolve(sub{ my $x=shift; $x**2 - 4*$x - 21 },0,3);    # 7  with start position 3
 print "Iterations: $Acme::Tools::Resolve_iterations\n";      # 3 or larger, about 10-15 is normal

The variable C< $Acme::Tools::Resolve_iterations > (which is exported) will be set
to the last number of iterations C<resolve> used. Also if C<resolve> dies (carps).

The variable C< $Acme::Tools::Resolve_last_estimate > (which is exported) will be
set to the last estimate. This number will often be close to the solution and can
be used even if C<resolve> dies (carps).

B<BigFloat-example:>

If either second, third or fourth argument is an instance of L<Math::BigFloat>, so will the result be:

 use Acme::Tools;
 my $equation = sub{ $_ - 1 - 1/$_ };
 my $gr1 = resolve( $equation, 0,      1  ); #
 my $gr2 = resolve( $equation, 0, bigf(1) ); # 1/2 + sqrt(5)/2
 bigscale(50);
 my $gr3 = resolve( $equation, 0, bigf(1) ); # 1/2 + sqrt(5)/2

 print 1/2 + sqrt(5)/2, "\n";
 print "Golden ratio 1: $gr1\n";
 print "Golden ratio 2: $gr2\n";
 print "Golden ratio 3: $gr3\n";

Output:

 1.61803398874989
 Golden ratio 1: 1.61803398874989
 Golden ratio 2: 1.61803398874989484820458683436563811772029300310882395927211731893236137472439025

=head2 resolve_equation

This prints 2:

 print resolve_equation "x + 13*(3-x) = 17 - x"

A string containing at least one x is converted into a perl function.
Then x is found by using L<resolve>. The string conversion is done by
replacing every x with $_ and if a C< = > char is present it converts
C< leftside = rightside > into C< (leftside) - (rightside) = 0 > which
is the default behaviour of L<resolve>.

=head2 bytes_readable

Converts a number of bytes to something human readable.

Input 1: a number

Input 2: optionally the number of decimals if >1000 B. Default is 2.

Output: a string containing:

the number with a B behind if the number is less than 1000

the number divided by 1024 with two decimals and "kB" behind if the number is less than 1024*1000

the number divided by 1048576 with two decimals and "MB" behind if the number is less than 1024*1024*1000

the number divided by 1073741824 with two decimals and "GB" behind if the number is less than 1024*1024*1024*1000

the number divided by 1099511627776 with two decimals and "TB" behind otherwise

=head2 isnum

B<Input:> String to be tested on this regexp:

C<< /^ \s* [\-\+]? (?: \d*\.\d+ | \d+ ) (?:[eE][\-\+]?\d+)?\s*$/x >>

If no argument is given isnum checks C<< $_ >>.

B<Output:> True or false (1 or 0)

 use Acme::Tools;

=head2 between

Input: Three arguments.

Returns: Something I<true> if the first argument is numerically between the two next. Uses Perls C<< < >>, C<< >= >> and C<< <= >> operators.

=head2 btw

Like L<between> but instead of assuming numbers it checks all three input args
and does alphanumerical comparisons (with Perl operators C<lt>, C<ge> and C<le>) if any of the
three input args don't look like a number or look like a number but with
one or more leading zeros.

 btw(1,1,10)             #true numeric order since all three looks like number according to =~$Re_isnum
 btw(1,'02',13)          #true leading zero in '02' leads to alphabetical order
 btw(10, 012,10)         #true leading zero here means oct number, 012 = 10 (8*1+2), so 10 is btw 10 and 10
 btw('003', '02', '09')  #false because '003' lt '02'
 btw('a', 'b', 'c')      #false because 'a' lt 'b'
 btw('a', 'B', 'c')      #true because upper case letters comes before lower case ones in the "ascii alphabet"
 btw('a', 'c', 'B')      #true, btw() and between switches from and to if the first is > the second
 btw( -1, -2, 1)         #true
 btw( -1, -2, 0)         #true

Both between and btw returns C<undef> if any of the three input args are C<undef> (not defined).
If you're doing only numerical comparisons, using C<between> is faster than C<btw>.

  my($test ,$fom, $tom)=@_;

=head2 curb

B<Input:> Three arguments: value, minumum, maximum.

B<Output:> Returns the value if its between the given minumum and maximum.
Returns minimum if the value is less or maximum if the value is more.
Changes the variable if 1st arg is a scalarref.

 my $enthusiasm = 11;

=head1 STRINGS

=head2 upper

=head2 lower

Returns input string as uppercase or lowercase.

Can be used if Perls build in C<uc()> and C<lc()> for some reason does not convert æøå or other latin1 letters outsize a-z.

Converts C<< æøåäëïöüÿâêîôûãõàèìòùáéíóúýñð >> to and from C<< ÆØÅÄËÏÖÜ?ÂÊÎÔÛÃÕÀÈÌÒÙÁÉÍÓÚÝÑÐ >>

See also C<< perldoc -f uc >> and C<< perldoc -f lc >>

=head2 trim

Removes space from the beginning and end of a string. Whitespace (C<< \s >>) that is.
And removes any whitespace inside the string of more than one char, leaving the first whitespace char. Thus:

 trim(" asdf \t\n    123 ")  eq "asdf 123"
 trim(" asdf\t\n    123\n")  eq "asdf\t123"

Works on C<< $_ >> if no argument i given:

 print join",", map trim, " please ", " remove ", " my ", " spaces ";   # please,remove,my,spaces
 print join",", trim(" please ", " remove ", " my ", " spaces ");       # works on arrays as well
 my $s=' please '; trim(\$s);                                           # now  $s eq 'please'
 trim(\@untrimmedstrings);                                              # trims array strings inplace
 @untrimmedstrings = map trim, @untrimmedstrings;                       # same, works on $_
 trim(\$_) for @untrimmedstrings;                                       # same, works on \$_

=head2 lpad

=head2 rpad

Tools.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

If the first argument is a reference to a scalar variable, that variable is changed "in place".

Example:

 my $str="test";
 replace(\$str,'e','ee','s','S');
 print $str;                         # prints teeSt

=cut

sub replace { repl(@_) }
sub repl {
  my $str=shift;
  return $$str=replace($$str,@_) if ref($str) eq 'SCALAR';
 #return ? if ref($str) eq 'ARRAY';
 #return ? if ref($str) eq 'HASH';
  while(@_){
    my($fra,$til)=(shift,shift);
    defined $til ? $str=~s/$fra/$til/g : $str=~s/$fra//g;
  }
  return $str;
}

=head1 ARRAYS

=head2 subarr

The equivalent of C<substr> on arrays or C<splice> without changing the array.
Input: 1) array or arrayref, 2) offset and optionally 3) length. Without a
third argument, subarr returns the rest of the array.

 @top10    = subarr( @array, 0, 10);   # first 10
 @last_two = subarr( @array, -2, 2);   # last 2
 @last_two = subarr( $array_ref, -2);  # also last 2
 @last_six = subarr $array_ref, -6;    # parens are optional

The same can be obtained from C<< @array[$from..$to] >> but that dont work the
same way with negative offsets and boundary control of length.

=cut

#Todo: sjekk paastand over


#sub subarr(+$;$) { #perl>=5.14        # t/35_subarr.t
sub subarr { #perl<5.14
  my($a,$o,$l)=@_;
  $o=@$a+$o if $o<0;
  $o=0      if $o<0;
  $o=@$a-1  if $o>@$a-1;
  $l=@$a-$o if @_<3;
  croak     if $l<0;
  $l=@$a-$o if $l>@$a-$o;
  @$a[$o..$o+$l-1];
}

=head2 min

Returns the smallest number in a list. Undef is ignored.

 @lengths=(2,3,5,2,10,undef,5,4);
 $shortest = min(@lengths);   # returns 2

Note: The comparison operator is perls C<< < >>> which means empty strings is treated as C<0>, the number zero. The same goes for C<max()>, except of course C<< > >> is used instead.

 min(3,4,5)       # 3
 min(3,4,5,undef) # 3
 min(3,4,5,'')    # returns the empty string

=head2 max

Returns the largest number in a list. Undef is ignored.

 @heights=(123,90,134,undef,132);
 $highest = max(@heights);   # 134

=head2 mins

Just as L</min>, except for strings.

 print min(2,7,10);          # 2
 print mins("2","7","10");   # 10
 print mins(2,7,10);         # 10

=head2 maxs

Just as L</mix>, except for strings.

 print max(2,7,10);          # 10
 print maxs("2","7","10");   # 7
 print maxs(2,7,10);         # 7

=cut

sub min  {my $min;for(@_){ $min=$_ if defined($_) and !defined($min) || $_ < $min } $min }
sub mins {my $min;for(@_){ $min=$_ if defined($_) and !defined($min) || $_ lt $min} $min }
sub max  {my $max;for(@_){ $max=$_ if defined($_) and !defined($max) || $_ > $max } $max }
sub maxs {my $max;for(@_){ $max=$_ if defined($_) and !defined($max) || $_ gt $max} $max }

=head2 zip

B<Input:> Two or more arrayrefs. A number of equal sized arrays
containing numbers, strings or anything really.

B<Output:> An array of those input arrays zipped (interlocked, merged) into each other.

 print join " ", zip( [1,3,5], [2,4,6] );               # 1 2 3 4 5 6
 print join " ", zip( [1,4,7], [2,5,8], [3,6,9] );      # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Example:

zip() creates a hash where the keys are found in the first array and values in the secord in the correct order:

 my @media = qw/CD DVD VHS LP Blueray/;
 my @count = qw/20 12  2   4  3/;
 my %count = zip(\@media,\@count);                 # or zip( [@media], [@count] )
 print "I got $count{DVD} DVDs\n";                 # I got 12 DVDs

Dies (croaks) if the two lists are of different sizes

...or any input argument is not an array ref.

=cut

sub zip {
  my @t=@_;
  ref($_) ne 'ARRAY' and croak "ERROR: zip should have arrayrefs as arguments" for @t;
  @{$t[$_]} != @{$t[0]} and croak "ERROR: zip should have equal sized arrays" for 1..$#t;

  for my $i (0..@{$t[0]}-1){
    push @res, $$_[$i] for @t;
  }
  return @res;
}

=head2 sim

B<Input:> Two or more strings

B<Output:> A number 0 - 1 indicating the similarity between two strings.

Requires L<String::Similarity> where the real magic happens.

 sim("Donald Duck", "Donald E. Knuth");    # returns 0.615
 sim("Kalle Anka", "Kalle And")'           # returns 0.842

B<Input:> Two, three or four arguments

B<First argument:> the element to find. Usually a number.

B<Second argument:> a reference to the array to search in. The array
should be sorted in ascending numerical order (se exceptions below).

B<Third argument:>  Optional. Default false.

If true, whether result I<not found> should return undef or a fractional position.

If the third argument is false binsearch returns undef if the element is not found.

If the third argument is true binsearch returns 0.5 plus closest position below the searched value.

Returns C< last position + 0.5 > if the searched element is greater than all elements in the sorted array.

Returns C< -0.5 > if the searched element is less than all elements in the sorted array.

Fourth argument: Optional. Default C<< sub { $_[0] <=> $_[1] } >>.

If present, the fourth argument is either:

=over 4

=item * a code-ref that alters the way binsearch compares two elements, default is C<< sub{$_[0]<=>$_[1]} >>

=item * a string that works as a hash key (column name), see example below

=back

B<Examples:>

 binsearch(10,[5,10,15,20]);                                # 1
 binsearch(10,[20,15,10,5],undef,sub{$_[1]<=>$_[0]});       # 2 search arrays sorted numerically in opposite order
 binsearch("c",["a","b","c","d"],undef,sub{$_[0]cmp$_[1]}); # 2 search arrays sorted alphanumerically
 binsearchstr("b",["a","b","c","d"]);                       # 1 search arrays sorted alphanumerically

 my @data=(  map {  {num=>$_, sqrt=>sqrt($_), square=>$_**2}  }

=head2 binsearchstr

Same as binsearch except that the arrays is sorted alphanumerically
(cmp) instead of numerically (<=>) and the searched element is a
string, not a number. See L</binsearch>.

=head2 rank

B<Input:> Two or three arguments. N and an arrayref for the list to look at.

In scalar context: Returns the nth smallest number in an array. The array doesn't have to be sorted.

In array context: Returns the n smallest numbers in an array.

To return the n(th) largest number(s) instead of smallest, just negate n.

An optional third argument can be a sub that is used to compare the elements of the input array.

Examples:

 my $second_smallest = rank(2, [11,12,13,14]);  # 12
 my @top10           = rank(-10, [1..100]);     # 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91
 my $max             = rank(-1, [101,102,103,102,101]); #103
 my @contest         = ({name=>"Alice",score=>14},{name=>"Bob",score=>13},{name=>"Eve",score=>12});
 my $second          = rank(2, \@contest, sub{$_[1]{score}<=>$_[0]{score}})->{name}; #Bob

=head2 rankstr

Just as C<rank> but sorts alphanumerically (strings, cmp) instead of numerically.

=cut

  my($rank,$aref,$cmpsub)=@_;

    $cmpsub||=sub{$_[0]<=>$_[1]};

sub rankstr {wantarray?(rank(@_,sub{$_[0]cmp$_[1]})):rank(@_,sub{$_[0]cmp$_[1]})}

=head2 egrep

Extended grep.

Works like L<grep> but with more insight: local vars $i, $n, $prev, $next, $prevr and $nextr are available:

$i is the current index, starts with 0, ends with the length of the input array minus one

$n is the current element number, starts with 1, $n = $i + 1

$prev is the previous value (undef if current is first)

$next is the next value (undef if current is last)

$prevr is the previous value, rotated so that the previous of the first element is the last element

$nextr is the next value, rotated so that the next of the last element is the first element

$_ is the current value, just as with Perls built-in grep

 my @a = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20);  # 1..20
 my @r = egrep { $_ % 3 == 0 } @a;  # @r is 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18. Plain grep could have been used here
 my @r = egrep { $i==1 or $next==12 or $prev==14 } @a;  # @r is now 2, 11, 15

 my @a=2..44;
 egrep { $prev =~/4$/ or $next =~/2$/ } @a;  # 5, 11, 15, 21, 25, 31, 35, 41
 egrep { $prevr=~/4$/ or $nextr=~/2$/ } @a;  # 2, 5, 11, 15, 21, 25, 31, 35, 41, 44
 egrep { $i%7==0 } @a;                       # 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44
 egrep { $n%7==0 } @a;                       # 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43

=head2 eqarr

B<Input:> Two or more references to arrays.

B<Output:> True (1) or false (0) for whether or not the arrays are numerically I<and> alphanumerically equal.
Comparing each element in each array with both C< == > and C< eq >.

Examples:

 eqarr([1,2,3],[1,2,3],[1,2,3]); # 1 (true)
 eqarr([1,2,3],[1,2,3],[1,2,4]); # 0 (false)
 eqarr([1,2,3],[1,2,3,4]);       # undef (different size, false)
 eqarr([1,2,3]);                 # croak (should be two or more arrays)

   	       or $arefs[0][$_] != $$ar[$_];
    }
  }
  return 1;
}

=head2 sorted

Return true if the input array is numerically sorted.

  @a=(1..10); print "array is sorted" if sorted @a;  #true

Optionally the last argument can be a comparison sub:

  @person=({Rank=>1,Name=>'Amy'}, {Rank=>2,Name=>'Paula'}, {Rank=>3,Name=>'Ruth'});
  print "Persons are sorted" if sorted @person, sub{$_[0]{Rank}<=>$_[1]{Rank}};

=head2 sortedstr

Return true if the input array is I<alpha>numerically sorted.

  @a=(1..10);      print "array is sorted" if sortedstr @a; #false
  @a=("01".."10"); print "array is sorted" if sortedstr @a; #true

=cut

sub sorted (\@@) {
  my($a,$cmpsub)=@_;
  if($cmpsub){ &$cmpsub($$a[$_],$$a[$_+1])>0 and return 0 for 0..$#$a-1 }
  else       { $$a[$_] > $$a[$_+1]           and return 0 for 0..$#$a-1 }
  return 1;

    map$$_[0],
    sort{$$a[1]cmp$$b[1]}
    map[$_,sprintf($pattern,@$_{@by})],
    @$arr;
}


=head2 subarrays

Returns all 2^n-1 combinatory subarrays of an array where each element
of input array participates or not. Note: The empty array is not among
the returned arrayrefs unless an empty input is given.

 my @a = subarrays( 'a', 'b', 'c' );         # same as:
 my @a = ( ['a'    ],
           [    'b'],
           ['a','b'],
           [        'c'],
           ['a',    'c'],
           [    'b','c'],
           ['a','b','c'] );

=head2 part

B<Input:> A code-ref and a list

B<Output:> Two array-refs

Like C<grep> but returns the false list as well. Partitions a list
into two lists where each element goes into the first or second list
whether the predicate (a code-ref) is true or false for that element.

 my( $odd, $even ) = part {$_%2} (1..8);
 print for @$odd;   #prints 1 3 5 7
 print for @$even;  #prints 2 4 6 8

(Works like C< partition() > in the Scala programming language)

=head2 parth

Like C<part> but returns any number of lists. Not just two. Sort of like I<group by> in SQL.

B<Input:> A code-ref and a list

B<Output:> A hash where the returned values from the code-ref are keys and the values are arrayrefs to the list elements which gave those keys.

 my %hash = parth { uc(substr($_,0,1)) } ('These','are','the','words','of','this','array');
 print serialize(\%hash);

Result:

 %hash = (  T=>['These','the','this'],
            A=>['are','array'],
            O=>['of'],
            W=>['words']  )

=head2 parta

Like L<parth> but returns an array of lists where the predicate returns an index number.

 my @a = parta { length } qw/These are the words of this array/;

Result:

 @a = ( undef, undef, ['of'], ['are','the'], ['this'], ['These','words','array'] )

Two undefs at first (index positions 0 and 1) since there are no words of length 0 or 1 in the input array.

=cut

sub parta (&@) { my($c,@r)=(shift);       push @{ $r[ &$c     ] }, $_ for @_; @r }

=head2 refa

=head2 refh

=head2 refs

=head2 refaa

=head2 refah

=head2 refha

=head2 refhh

Returns true or false (1 or 0) if the argument is an arrayref, hashref, scalarref, ref to an array of arrays, ref to an array of hashes

Examples:

  my $ref_to_array  = [1,2,3];
  my $ref_to_hash   = {1,100,2,200,3,300};
  my $ref_to_scalar = \"String";

  print "scalarref" if refs($ref_to_scalar);            #also true, without: eq 'SCALAR'

 print sum(1..1000);       # 500500
 print sum(undef);         # undef

=cut

sub sum { my $sum; no warnings; defined($_) and $sum+=$_ for @_; $sum }

=head2 avg

Returns the I<average> number of a list of numbers. That is C<sum / count>

 print avg(  2, 4, 9);   # 5      (2+4+9) / 3 = 5
 print avg( [2, 4, 9] ); # 5      pass by reference, same result but faster for large arrays

Also known as I<arithmetic mean>.

Pass by reference: If one argument is given and it is a reference to an array,
this array is taken as the list of numbers. This mode is about twice as fast
for 10000 numbers or more. It most likely also saves memory.

=head2 harmonicavg

Returns the I<harmonic average> (a.k.a I<geometric mean>) of a list of numbers. L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_mean>

 print harmonicavg(10,11,12);               # 3 / ( 1/10 + 1/11 + 1/12) = 10.939226519337

=head2 stddev

C<< Standard_Deviation = sqrt(variance) >>

Standard deviation (stddev) is a measurement of the width of a normal
distribution where one stddev on each side of the mean covers 68% and
two stddevs 95%.  Normal distributions are sometimes called Gauss curves
or Bell shapes. L<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation>

 avg(@testscores) + stddev(@testscores)            # = the score for one stddev above avg, 115
 avg(@testscores) - stddev(@testscores)            # = the score for one stddev below avg, 85

Relative stddev = stddev / avg

=cut

sub rstddev { stddev(@_) / avg(@_) }

=head2 median

Returns the median value of a list of numbers. The list do not have to
be sorted.

Example 1, list having an odd number of numbers:

 print median(1, 100, 101);   # 100

100 is the middlemost number after sorting.

Example 2, an even number of numbers:

 print median(1005, 100, 101, 99);   # 100.5

100.5 is the average of the two middlemost numbers.

=cut

sub median {

  my @list = sort {$a<=>$b} @_;
  my $n=@list;
  $n%2 ?  $list[($n-1)/2]
       : ($list[$n/2-1] + $list[$n/2])/2;
}


=head2 percentile

Returns one or more percentiles of a list of numbers.

Percentile 50 is the same as the I<median>, percentile 25 is the first
quartile, 75 is the third quartile.

B<Input:>

First argument is your wanted percentile, or a refrence to a list of percentiles you want from the dataset.

If the first argument to percentile() is a scalar, this percentile is returned.

If the first argument is a reference to an array, then all those percentiles are returned as an array.

Second, third, fourth and so on argument are the numbers from which you want to find the percentile(s).

B<Examples:>

Tools.pm  view on Meta::CPAN


B<Input:>

=over 4

=item 1.
Either a reference to an array as the only input. This array will then be mixed I<in-place>. The array will be changed:

This: C<< @a=mix(@a) >> is the same as:  C<< mix(\@a) >>.

=item 2.
Or an array of zero, one or more elements.

=back

Note that an input-array which COINCIDENTLY SOME TIMES has one element
(but more other times), and that element is an array-ref, you will
probably not get the expected result.

To check distribution:

 perl -MAcme::Tools -le 'print mix("a".."z") for 1..26000'|cut -c1|sort|uniq -c|sort -n

The letters a-z should occur around 1000 times each.

Shuffles a deck of cards: (s=spaces, h=hearts, c=clubs, d=diamonds)

 perl -MAcme::Tools -le '@cards=map join("",@$_),cart([qw/s h c d/],[2..10,qw/J Q K A/]); print join " ",mix(@cards)'

(Uses L</cart>, which is not a typo, see further down here)

Note: C<List::Util::shuffle()> is approximately four times faster. Both respects the Perl built-in C<srand()>.

=cut

sub mix {
  if(@_==1 and ref($_[0]) eq 'ARRAY'){ #just one arg, and its ref array
    my $r=$_[0];
    push@$r,splice(@$r,rand(@$r-$_),1) for 0..(@$r-1);
    return $r;
  }
  else{
    my@e=@_;
    push@e,splice(@e,rand(@e-$_),1) for 0..$#e;
    return @e;
  }
}

=head2 pwgen

Generates random passwords.

B<Input:> 0-n args

* First arg: length of password(s), default 8

* Second arg: number of passwords, default 1

* Third arg: string containing legal chars in password, default A-Za-z0-9,-./&%_!

* Fourth to n'th arg: list of requirements for passwords, default if the third arg is false/undef (so default third arg is used) is:

 sub{/^[a-zA-Z0-9].*[a-zA-Z0-9]$/ and /[a-z]/ and /[A-Z]/ and /\d/ and /[,-.\/&%_!]/}

...meaning the password should:
* start and end with: a letter a-z (lower- or uppercase) or a digit 0-9
* should contain at least one char from each of the groups lower, upper, digit and special char

To keep the default requirement-sub but add additional ones just set the fourth arg to false/undef
and add your own requirements in the fifth arg and forward (examples below). Sub pwgen uses perls
own C<rand()> internally.

C<< $Acme::Tools::Pwgen_max_sec >> and C<< $Acme::Tools::Pwgen_max_trials >> can be set to adjust for how long
pwgen tries to find a password. Defaults for those are 0.01 and 10000.
Whenever one of the two limits is reached, a first generates a croak.

Examples:

 my $pw=pwgen();             # a random 8 chars password A-Z a-z 0-9 ,-./&%!_ (8 is default length)
 my $pw=pwgen(12);           # a random 12 chars password A-Z a-z 0-9 ,-./&%!_
 my @pw=pwgen(0,10);         # 10 random 8 chars passwords, containing the same possible chars
 my @pw=pwgen(0,1000,'A-Z'); # 1000 random 8 chars passwords containing just uppercase letters from A to Z

 pwgen(3);                                # dies, defaults require chars in each of 4 group (see above)
 pwgen(5,1,'A-C0-9',  qr/^\D{3}\d{2}$/);  # a 5 char string starting with three A, B or Cs and endring with two digits
 pwgen(5,1,'ABC0-9',sub{/^\D{3}\d{2}$/}); # same as above

Examples of adding additional requirements to the default ones:

 my @pwreq = ( qr/^[A-C]/ );
 pwgen(8,1,'','',@pwreq);    # use defaults for allowed chars and the standard requirements
                             # but also demand that the password must start with A, B or C

 push @pwreq, sub{ not /[a-z]{3}/i };
 pwgen(8,1,'','',@pwreq);    # as above and in addition the password should not contain three
                             # or more consecutive letters (to avoid "offensive" words perhaps)

=head2 a2h

B<Input:> array of arrays

B<Output:> array of hashes

Transforms an array of arrays (arrayrefs) to an array of hashes (hashrefs).

              ['Alice', 20,    'F'],
              ['Bob',   30,    'M'],
              ['Eve',   undef, 'F'] );

Result array @h:

 (
   {Name=>'Alice', Age=>20,    Gender=>'F'},
   {Name=>'Bob',   Age=>30,    Gender=>'M'},
   {Name=>'Eve',   Age=>undef, Gender=>'F'},

=head1 COMPRESSION

L</zipb64>, L</unzipb64>, L</zipbin>, L</unzipbin>, L</gzip>, and L</gunzip>
compresses and uncompresses strings to save space in disk, memory,
database or network transfer. Trades time for space. (Beware of wormholes)

=head2 zipb64

Compresses the input (text or binary) and returns a base64-encoded string of the compressed binary data.
No known limit on input length, several MB has been tested, as long as you've got the RAM...

B<Input:> One or two strings.

First argument: The string to be compressed.

Second argument is optional: A I<dictionary> string.

B<Output:> a base64-kodet string of the compressed input.

The use of an optional I<dictionary> string will result in an even
further compressed output in the dictionary string is somewhat similar
to the string that is compressed (the data in the first argument).

If x relatively similar string are to be compressed, i.e. x number
automatic of email responses to some action by a user, it will pay of
to choose one of those x as a dictionary string and store it as
such. (You will also use the same dictionary string when decompressing
using L</unzipb64>.

The returned string is base64 encoded. That is, the output is 33%
larger than it has to be.  The advantage is that this string more
easily can be stored in a database (without the hassles of CLOB/BLOB)
or perhaps easier transfer in http POST requests (it still needs some
url-encoding, normally). See L</zipbin> and L</unzipbin> for the
same without base 64 encoding.

=head2 ipaddr

B<Input:> an IP-number

B<Output:> either an IP-address I<machine.sld.tld> or an empty string
if the DNS lookup didn't find anything.

Example:

 perl -MAcme::Tools -le 'print ipaddr("129.240.8.200")'  # prints www.uio.no

Uses perls C<gethostbyaddr> internally.

C<ipaddr()> memoizes the results internally (using the
C<%Acme::Tools::IPADDR_memo> hash) so only the first loopup on a
particular IP number might take some time.

Some few DNS loopups can take several seconds.
Most is done in a fraction of a second. Due to this slowness, medium to high traffic web servers should
probably turn off hostname lookups in their logs and just log IP numbers by using
C<HostnameLookups Off> in Apache C<httpd.conf> and then use I<ipaddr> afterwards if necessary.

  #hm, NOTE: The 2 parameter on the next code line is not 2 for all OSes,
  #but seems to work in Linux and HPUX. Den correct way is to use the
  #AF_INET constant in the Socket or the IO::Socket package.
  return $IPADDR_memo{$ipnr} ||= gethostbyaddr(pack("C4",split("\\.",$ipnr)),2);
}

=head2 ipnum

C<ipnum()> does the opposite of C<ipaddr()>

Does an attempt of converting an IP address (hostname) to an IP number.
Uses DNS name servers via perls internal C<gethostbyname()>.
Return empty string (undef) if unsuccessful.

 print ipnum("www.uio.no");   # prints 129.240.13.152

Does internal memoization via the hash C<%Acme::Tools::IPNUM_memo>.

=head2 webparams

B<Input:> (optional)

Zero or one input argument: A string of the same type often found behind the first question mark (C<< ? >>) in URLs.

This string can have one or more parts separated by C<&> chars.

Each part consists of C<key=value> pairs (with the first C<=> char being the separation char).

Both C<key> and C<value> can be url-encoded.

If there is no input argument, C<webparams> uses C<< $ENV{QUERY_STRING} >> instead.

If also  C<< $ENV{QUERY_STRING} >> is lacking, C<webparams()> checks if C<< $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq 'POST' >>.
In that case C<< $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} >> is taken as the number of bytes to be read from C<STDIN>
and those bytes are used as the missing input argument.

The environment variables QUERY_STRING, REQUEST_METHOD and CONTENT_LENGTH is
typically set by a web server following the CGI standard (which Apache and
most of them can do I guess) or in mod_perl by Apache. Although you are
probably better off using L<CGI>. Or C<< $R->args() >> or C<< $R->content() >> in mod_perl.

B<Output:>

C<webparams()> returns a hash of the key/value pairs in the input argument. Url-decoded.

If an input string has more than one occurrence of the same key, that keys value in the returned hash will become concatenated each value separated by a C<,> char. (A comma char)

Examples:

 use Acme::Tools;
 my %R=webparams();
 print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";                          # or rather \cM\cJ\cM\cJ instead of \n\n to be http-compliant
 print "My name is $R{name}";

Storing those four lines in a file in the directory designated for CGI-scripts

Tools.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

sub writefile {
    my($filename,$text)=@_;
    if(ref($filename) eq 'ARRAY'){
	writefile(@$_) for @$filename;
	return;
    }
    open(WRITEFILE,openstr(">$filename")) and binmode(WRITEFILE) or croak($!);
    if(!defined $text or !ref($text)){
	print WRITEFILE $text;
    }
    elsif(ref($text) eq 'SCALAR'){
	print WRITEFILE $$text;
    }
    elsif(ref($text) eq 'ARRAY'){
	print WRITEFILE "$_\n" for @$text;
    }
    else {
	croak;
    }
    close(WRITEFILE);
    return;
}

=head2 readfile

Just as with L</writefile> you can read in a whole file in one operation with C<readfile()>. Instead of:

 open my $FILE,'<', $filename or die $!;
 my $data = join"",<$FILE>;
 close($FILE);

This is simpler:

 my $data = readfile($filename);

B<More examples:>

Reading the content of the file to a scalar variable: (Any content in C<$data> will be overwritten)

 my $data;
 readfile('filename.txt',\$data);

Reading the lines of a file into an array:

 my @lines;
 readfile('filnavn.txt',\@lines);
 for(@lines){
   ...
 }

Note: Chomp is done on each line. That is, any newlines (C<< \n >>) will be removed.
If C<@lines> is non-empty, this will be lost.

Sub readfile is context aware. If an array is expected it returns an array of the lines without a trailing C<< \n >>.
The last example can be rewritten:

 for(readfile('filnavn.txt')){
   ...
 }

With two input arguments, nothing (undef) is returned from C<readfile()>.

Automatic decompression:

 my $txt = readfile('file.txt.gz');  #uses /bin/gunzip to decompress content

Extentions C<.gz>, C<.bz2> and C<.xz> are recognized for decompression. See also C<writefile()> and C<openstr()>.

=head2 readdirectory

B<Input:>

Name of a directory.

B<Output:>

A list of all files in it, except of  C<.> and C<..>  (on linux/unix systems, all directories have a C<.> and C<..> directory).

The names of all types of files are returned: normal files, directories, symbolic links,
pipes, semaphores. That is every thing shown by C<ls -la> except C<.> and C<..>

C<readdirectory> do not recurce down into subdirectories (but see example below).

B<Example:>

  my @files = readdirectory("/tmp");

B<Why readdirectory?>

Sometimes calling the built ins C<opendir>, C<readdir> and C<closedir> seems a tad tedious, since this:

 my $dir="/usr/bin";
 opendir(D,$dir);
 my @files=map "$dir/$_", grep {!/^\.\.?$/} readdir(D);
 closedir(D);

Is the same as this:

 my @files=readdirectory("/usr/bin");

Tools.pm  view on Meta::CPAN


 my @files=("/tmp");
 map {-d $_ and unshift @files,$_ or push @files,$_} readdirectory(shift(@files)) while -d $files[0];

...or to avoid symlinks and only get real files:

 map {-d and !-l and unshift @files,$_ or -f and !-l and push @files,$_} readdirectory(shift(@files)) while -d $files[0];

=cut

sub readdirectory {
  my $dir=shift;
  opendir(my $D,$dir);

  closedir($D);
  return @filer;
}

=head2 basename

The basename and dirname functions behaves like the *nix shell commands with the same names.

B<Input:> One or two arguments: Filename and an optional suffix

B<Output:> Returns the filename with any directory and (if given) the suffix removed.

 basename('/usr/bin/perl')                   # returns 'perl'
 basename('/usr/local/bin/report.pl','.pl')  # returns 'report' since .pl at the end is removed
 basename('report2.pl','.pl')                # returns 'report2'
 basename('report2.pl','.\w+')               # returns 'report2.pl', probably not what you meant
 basename('report2.pl',qr/.\w+/)             # returns 'report2', use qr for regex

=head2 dirname

B<Input:> A filename including path

B<Output:> Removes the filename path and returns just the directory path up until but not including
the last /. Return just a one char C<< . >> (period string) if there is no directory in the input.

 dirname('/usr/bin/perl')                    # returns '/usr/bin'
 dirname('perl')                             # returns '.'

=head2 username

Returns the current linux/unix username, for example the string root

 print username();                        #just (getpwuid($<))[0] but more readable perhaps

=cut

sub basename { my($f,$s)=(@_,'');$s=quotemeta($s)if!ref($s);$f=~m,^(.*/)?([^/]*?)($s)?$,;$2 }
sub dirname  { $_[0]=~m,^(.*)/,;defined($1) && length($1) ? $1 : '.' }
sub username { (getpwuid($<))[0] }

=head2 wipe

Deletes a file by "wiping" it on the disk. Overwrites the file before deleting. (May not work properly on SSDs)

B<Input:>
* Arg 1: A filename
* Optional arg 2: number of times to overwrite file. Default is 3 if omitted, 0 or undef
* Optional arg 3: keep (true/false), wipe() but no delete of file

B<Output:> Same as the C<unlink()> (remove file): 1 for success, 0 or false for failure.

  binmode($WIFH);
  for(1..$times){
    my $block=chr(int(rand(256))) x 1024;#hm
    for(0..($size/1024)){
      seek($WIFH,$_*1024,0);
      print $WIFH $block;
    }
  }
  close($WIFH);
  $keep || unlink($file);
}

=head2 chall

Does chmod + utime + chown on one or more files.

Returns the number of files of which those operations was successful.

Mode, uid, gid, atime and mtime are set from the array ref in the first argument.

The first argument references an array which is exactly like an array returned from perls internal C<stat($filename)> -function.

Example:

 my @stat=stat($filenameA);
 chall( \@stat,       $filenameB, $filenameC, ... );  # by stat-array
 chall( $filenameA,   $filenameB, $filenameC, ... );  # by file name

Copies the chmod, owner, group, access time and modify time from file A to file B and C.

See C<perldoc -f stat>, C<perldoc -f chmod>, C<perldoc -f chown>, C<perldoc -f utime>

sleep_fp() work as the built in C<< sleep() >> but also accepts fractional seconds:

 sleep_fp(0.020);  # sleeps for 20 milliseconds

Sub sleep_fp do a C<require Time::HiRes>, thus it might take some
extra time the first call. To avoid that, add C<< use Time::HiRes >>
to your code. Sleep_fp should not be trusted for accuracy to more than
a tenth of a second. Virtual machines tend to be less accurate (sleep
longer) than physical ones. This was tested on VMware and RHEL
(Linux). See also L<Time::HiRes>.

=head2 sleep_until

sleep_until(0.5) sleeps until half a second has passed since the last
call to sleep_until. This example starts the next job excactly ten
seconds after the last job started even if the last job lasted for a
while (but not more than ten seconds):

 for(@jobs){
   sleep_until(10);
   print localtime()."\n";
   ...heavy job....
 }

Might print:

 Thu Jan 12 16:00:00 2012
 Thu Jan 12 16:00:10 2012
 Thu Jan 12 16:00:20 2012

...and so on even if the C<< ...heavy job... >>-part takes more than a
second to complete. Whereas if sleep(10) was used, each job would
spend more than ten seconds in average since the work time would be
added to sleep(10).

Note: sleep_until() will remember the time of ANY last call of this sub,
not just the one on the same line in the source code (this might change
in the future). The first call to sleep_until() will be the same as
sleep_fp() or Perl's own sleep() if the argument is an integer.

=head2 nvl

The I<no value> function (or I<null value> function)

C<nvl()> takes two or more arguments. (Oracles nvl-function take just two)

Returns the value of the first input argument with length() > 0.

Return I<undef> if there is no such input argument.

In perl 5.10 and perl 6 this will most often be easier with the C< //
> operator, although C<nvl()> and C<< // >> treats empty strings C<"">
differently. Sub nvl here considers empty strings and undef the same.

=cut

}

=head2 decode_num

See L</decode>.

=head2 decode

C<decode()> and C<decode_num()> works just as Oracles C<decode()>.

C<decode()> and C<decode_num()> accordingly uses perl operators C<eq> and C<==> for comparison.

Examples:

 my $a=123;
 print decode($a, 123,3,  214,4, $a);     # prints 3
 print decode($a, 123=>3, 214=>4, $a);    # prints 3, same thing since => is synonymous to comma in Perl

The first argument is tested against the second, fourth, sixth and so on,
and then the third, fifth, seventh and so on is
returned if decode() finds an equal string or number.

In the above example: 123 maps to 3, 124 maps to 4 and the last argument $a is returned elsewise.

More examples:

 my $a=123;
 print decode($a, 123=>3, 214=>7, $a);              # also 3,  note that => is synonym for , (comma) in perl
 print decode($a, 122=>3, 214=>7, $a);              # prints 123
 print decode($a,  123.0 =>3, 214=>7);              # prints 3
 print decode($a, '123.0'=>3, 214=>7);              # prints nothing (undef), no last argument default value here
 print decode_num($a, 121=>3, 221=>7, '123.0','b'); # prints b

Sort of:

 decode($string, %conversion, $default);

The last argument is returned as a default if none of the keys in the keys/value-pairs matched.

A more perl-ish and often faster way of doing the same:

 {123=>3, 214=>7}->{$a} || $a                       # (beware of 0)

=cut

  return shift;
}

=head2 qrlist

Input: An array of values to be used to test againts for existence.

Output: A reference to a regular expression. That is a C<qr//>

The regex sets $1 if it match.

Example:

  my @list=qw/ABc XY DEF DEFG XYZ/;
  my $filter=qrlist("ABC","DEF","XY.");         # makes a regex of it qr/^(\QABC\E|\QDEF\E|\QXY.\E)$/
  my @filtered= grep { $_ =~ $filter } @list;   # returns DEF and XYZ, but not XYZ because the . char is taken literally

Note: Filtering with hash lookups are WAY faster.

Source:

 sub qrlist (@) { my $str=join"|",map quotemeta, @_; qr/^($str)$/ }

=head2 ansicolor

Perhaps easier to use than L<Term::ANSIColor> ?

Tools.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

B<Input:> One argument. A string where the char C<¤> have special
meaning and is replaced by color codings depending on the letter
following the C<¤>.

B<Output:> The same string, but with C<¤letter> replaced by ANSI color
codes respected by many types terminal windows. (xterm, telnet, ssh,
telnet, rlog, vt100, cygwin, rxvt and such...).

B<Codes for ansicolor():>

 ¤r red
 ¤g green
 ¤b blue
 ¤y yellow
 ¤m magenta
 ¤B bold
 ¤u underline
 ¤c clear
 ¤¤ reset, quits and returns to default text color.

B<Example:>

 print ansicolor("This is maybe ¤ggreen¤¤?");

Prints I<This is maybe green?> where the word I<green> is shown in green.

If L<Term::ANSIColor> is not installed or not found, returns the input
string with every C<¤> including the following code letters
removed. (That is: ansicolor is safe to use even if Term::ANSIColor is
not installed, you just don't get the colors).

=head2 ccn_ok

Checks if a Credit Card number (CCN) has correct control digits according to the LUHN-algorithm from 1960.
This method of control digits is used by MasterCard, Visa, American Express,
Discover, Diners Club / Carte Blanche, JCB and others.

B<Input:>

A credit card number. Can contain non-digits, but they are removed internally before checking.

B<Output:>

Something true or false.

Or more accurately:

Returns C<undef> (false) if the input argument is missing digits.

Returns 0 (zero, which is false) is the digits is not correct according to the LUHN algorithm.

Returns 1 or the name of a credit card company (true either way) if the last digit is an ok control digit for this ccn.

The name of the credit card company is returned like this (without the C<'> character)

 Returns (wo '')                Starts on                Number of digits
 ------------------------------ ------------------------ ----------------
 'MasterCard'                   51-55                    16
 'Visa'                         4                        13 eller 16
 'American Express'             34 eller 37              15
 'Discover'                     6011                     16
 'Diners Club / Carte Blanche'  300-305, 36 eller 38     14
 'JCB'                          3                        16
 'JCB'                          2131 eller 1800          15

And should perhaps have had:

 'enRoute'                      2014 eller 2149          15

...but that card uses either another control algorithm or no control
digits at all. So C<enRoute> is never returned here.

If the control digits is valid, but the input does not match anything in the column C<starts on>, 1 is returned.

(This is also the same control digit mechanism used in Norwegian KID numbers on payment bills)

The first digit in a credit card number is supposed to tell what "industry" the card is meant for:

 MII Digit Value             Issuer Category
 --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
 0                           ISO/TC 68 and other industry assignments
 1                           Airlines
 2                           Airlines and other industry assignments
 3                           Travel and entertainment
 4                           Banking and financial
 5                           Banking and financial
 6                           Merchandizing and banking
 7                           Petroleum
 8                           Telecommunications and other industry assignments
 9                           National assignment

...although this has no meaning to C<Acme::Tools::ccn_ok()>.

The first six digits is I<Issuer Identifier>, that is the bank
(probably). The rest in the "account number", except the last digits,
which is the control digit. Max length on credit card numbers are 19
digits.

=head2 KID_ok

Checks if a norwegian KID number has an ok control digit.

To check if a customer has typed the number correctly.

This uses the  LUHN algorithm (also known as mod-10) from 1960 which is also used
internationally in control digits for credit card numbers, and Canadian social security ID numbers as well.

The algorithm, as described in Phrack (47-8) (a long time hacker online publication):

 "For a card with an even number of digits, double every odd numbered
 digit and subtract 9 if the product is greater than 9. Add up all the
 even digits as well as the doubled-odd digits, and the result must be
 a multiple of 10 or it's not a valid card. If the card has an odd
 number of digits, perform the same addition doubling the even numbered
 digits instead."

B<Input:> A KID-nummer. Must consist of digits 0-9 only, otherwise a die (croak) happens.

B<Output:>

- Returns undef if the input argument is missing.

- Returns 0 if the control digit (the last digit) does not satify the LUHN/mod-10 algorithm.

- Returns 1 if ok

=head2 range

B<Input:>

One or more numeric arguments:

First: x (first returned element)

Second: y (up to y but not including y)

Third: step, default 1. The step between each returned element

If a fourth, fifth and so on arguments are given, they change the step for each returned element. As first derivative, second derivative.

B<Output:>

If one argument: returns the array C<(0 .. x-1)>

If two arguments: returns the array C<(x .. y-1)>

If three arguments: The default step is 1. Use a third argument to use a different step.

B<Examples:>

 print join ",", range(11);         # prints 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10  (but not 11)
 print join ",", range(2,11);       # 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10             (but not 11)
 print join ",", range(11,2,-1);    # 11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3
 print join ",", range(2,11,3);     # 2,5,8
 print join ",", range(11,2,-3);    # 11,8,5
 print join ",", range(11,2,+3);    # prints nothing

 print join ", ",range(2,11,1,0.1);       # 2, 3, 4.1, 5.3, 6.6, 8, 9.5   adds 0.1 to step each time
 print join ", ",range(2,11,1,0.1,-0.01); # 2, 3, 4.1, 5.29, 6.56, 7.9, 9.3, 10.75

generator), not an array. This saves memory for large sets and sometimes time.

If the first argument is a coderef, that sub will be called for each permutation and the return from those calls with be the real return from C<permutations()>. For example this:

 print for permutations(sub{join"",@_},1..3);

...will print the same as:

 print for map join("",@$_), permutations(1..3);

...but the first of those two uses less RAM if 3 has been say 9.
Changing 3 with 10, and many computers hasn't enough memory
for the latter.

The examples prints:

 123
 132
 213
 231
 312
 321

If you just want to say calculate something on each permutation,
but is not interested in the list of them, you just don't
take the return. That is:

 my $ant;
 permutations(sub{$ant++ if $_[-1]>=$_[0]*2},1..9);

...is the same as:

 $$_[-1]>=$$_[0]*2 and $ant++ for permutations(1..9);

...but the first uses next to nothing of memory compared to the latter. They have about the same speed.
(The examples just counts the permutations where the last number is at least twice as large as the first)

C<permutations()> was created to find all combinations of a persons
name. This is useful in "fuzzy" name searches with
L<String::Similarity> if you can not be certain what is first, middle
and last names. In foreign or unfamiliar names it can be difficult to
know that.

=head2 tablestring

B<Input:> a reference to an array of arrayrefs  -- a two dimensional table of strings and numbers

B<Output:> a string containing the textual table -- a string of two or more lines

The first arrayref in the list refers to a list of either column headings (scalar)
or ... (...more later...)

In this output table:

- the columns will not be wider than necessary by its widest value (any <html>-tags are removed in every internal width-calculation)

- multi-lined cell values are handled also

- and so are html-tags, if the output is to be used inside <pre>-tags on a web page.

- columns with just numeric values are right justified (header row excepted)

=head2 serialize

Returns a data structure as a string. See also C<Data::Dumper>
(serialize was created long time ago before Data::Dumper appeared on
CPAN, before CPAN even...)

B<Input:> One to four arguments.

First argument: A reference to the structure you want.

Second argument: (optional) The name the structure will get in the output string.
If second argument is missing or is undef or '', it will get no name in the output.

Third argument: (optional) The string that is returned is also put
into a created file with the name given in this argument.  Putting a
C<< > >> char in from of the filename will append that file
instead. Use C<''> or C<undef> to not write to a file if you want to
use a fourth argument.

Fourth argument: (optional) A number signalling the depth on which newlines is used in the output.
The default is infinite (some big number) so no extra newlines are output.

B<Output:> A string containing the perl-code definition that makes that data structure.
The input reference (first input argument) can be to an array, hash or a string.
Those can contain other refs and strings in a deep data structure.

Limitations:

- Code refs are not handled (just returns C<sub{die()}>)

- Regex, class refs and circular recursive structures are also not handled.

B<Examples:>

  $a = 'test';
  @b = (1,2,3);
  %c = (1=>2, 2=>3, 3=>5, 4=>7, 5=>11);
  %d = (1=>2, 2=>3, 3=>\5, 4=>7, 5=>11, 6=>[13,17,19,{1,2,3,'asdf\'\\\''}],7=>'x');
  print serialize(\$a,'a');
  print serialize(\@b,'tab');
  print serialize(\%c,'c');
  print serialize(\%d,'d');
  print serialize(\("test'n roll",'brb "brb"'));
  print serialize(\%d,'d',undef,1);

Prints accordingly:

 $a='test';
 @tab=('1','2','3');
 %c=('1','2','2','3','3','5','4','7','5','11');
 %d=('1'=>'2','2'=>'3','3'=>\'5','4'=>'7','5'=>'11','6'=>['13','17','19',{'1'=>'2','3'=>'asdf\'\\\''}]);
 ('test\'n roll','brb "brb"');
 %d=('1'=>'2',
 '2'=>'3',
 '3'=>\'5',
 '4'=>'7',
 '5'=>'11',
 '6'=>['13','17','19',{'1'=>'2','3'=>'asdf\'\\\''}],
 '7'=>'x');

Areas of use:

- Debugging (first and foremost)

- Storing arrays and hashes and data structures of those on file, database or sending them over the net

- eval earlier stored string to get back the data structure

Be aware of the security implications of C<eval>ing a perl code string
stored somewhere that unauthorized users can change them! You are
probably better of using L<YAML::Syck> or L<Storable> without
enabling the CODE-options if you have such security issues.
More on decompiling Perl-code: L<Storable> or L<B::Deparse>.

=head2 dserialize

Debug-serialize, dumping data structures for you to look at.

Same as C<serialize()> but the output is given a newline every 80th character.
(Every 80th or whatever C<$Acme::Tools::Dserialize_width> contains)

Returns undef, 0 or 1. Undef if its the first time C<changed> is
called on that perl line. 0 if not the first time and the parameters
differ from the last call on that line. 1 if not the first time and
the parameters is the exact same as they where on the previous call on
that line of perl source code.

=head1 JUST FOR FUN

=head2 brainfu

B<Input:> one or two arguments

First argument: a string, source code of the brainfu
language. String containing the eight charachters + - < > [ ] . ,
Every other char is ignored silently.

Second argument: if the source code contains commas (,) the second
argument is the input characters in a string.

B<Output:> The resulting output from the program.

Example:

 print brainfu(<<"");  #prints "Hallo Verden!\n"
 ++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]>++.>---.+++++++++++..+++.>++.<<++++++++++++++
 .>----------.+++++++++++++.--------------.+.+++++++++.>+.>.

See L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck>

=head2 brainfu2perl

Just as L</brainfu> but instead it return the perl code to which the
brainfu code is translated. Just C<< eval() >> this perl code to run.

Example:

 print brainfu2perl('>++++++++[<++++++++>-]<++++++++.>++++++[<++++++>-]<---.');

Prints this string:

 my($c,$o,@b)=(0); sub out{$o.=chr($b[$c]) for 1..$_[0]||1}
 ++$c;++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];
 while($b[$c]){--$c;++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];
 ++$b[$c];++$c;--$b[$c];}--$c;++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];
 ++$b[$c];++$b[$c];out;++$c;++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];
 while($b[$c]){--$c;++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$b[$c];++$c;--$b[$c];}
 --$c;--$b[$c];--$b[$c];--$b[$c];out;$o;

=head2 brainfu2perl_optimized

Just as L</brainfu2perl> but optimizes the perl code. The same
example as above with brainfu2perl_optimized returns this equivalent
but shorter perl code:

 $b[++$c]+=8;while($b[$c]){$b[--$c]+=8;--$b[++$c]}$b[--$c]+=8;out;$b[++$c]+=6;
