Perl list processing is for hashes, too
This month I started a new job at Alert Logic, a cybersecurity provider with Perl (among many other things) at its beating heart. I’ve been learning a lot, and part of the process has been understanding the APIs in the code base. To that end, I’ve been writing small test scripts to tease apart data structures, using Perl array-processing, list-processing, and hash- (i.e., associative array)-processing functions.
