What is libarray-group-perl
libarray-group-perl is:
Array::Group is a module for converting a list into a list of arrayrefs of the same size. It exports two methods:
The ngroup method reformats a list into a list of arrayrefs. It is often used for formatting data into HTML tables, amongst other things.
dissect() returns a list of lists where the first element of each sublist will be one of the first elements of the source list, and the last element will be one of the last. This behaviour is much more useful when the input list is sorted.
The key difference between the two methods is that dissect() takes elements from the start of the list provided and pushes them onto each of the subarrays sequentially, rather than simply dividing the list into discrete chunks.
