NAME

Acme::Array::MaxSize - Limit the maximal size your arrays can get.

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

Your array will never grow bigger over a given limit.

use Acme::Array::MaxSize;

tie my @short, 'Acme::Array::MaxSize', 3;
@short = (1 .. 10);
print "@short";  # 1 2 3

DETAILS

When adding new elements, if the maximal size is reached, all other elements are thrown away.

tie my @short, 'Acme::Array::MaxSize', 3;
@short = ('a');
push @short, 'b' .. 'h';
print "@short";  # a b c

Inserting elements at the very beginning behaves differently, though. Each unshift or splice would insert the maximal possible number of elements at the end of the inserted list:

tie my @short, 'Acme::Array::MaxSize', 3;
@short = ('a');
unshift @short, 'b' .. 'h';
print "@short";  # g h a
