How To Install perl-Data-OptList on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Data-OptList on CentOS 8.
What is perl-Data-OptList
Hashes are great for storing named data, but if you want more than one entry for a name, you have to use a list of pairs. Even then, this is really boring to write $values = [ foo => undef, bar => undef, baz => undef, xyz => { … }, ]; With Data $values = Data qw(foo bar baz), xyz => { … }, ]); This works by assuming that any defined scalar is a name and any reference following a name is its value.
