SYNOPSIS

[% USE HashMerge %]
[% USE HashMergeVMethods %]
[% a = {
           foo => 1,
           bar => [ 'a', 'b', 'e' ],
           baz => {
                      bob => 'alice',
                  },
       };
   b = {
           foo => 2,
           bar => [ 'c', 'd' ],
           baz => {
                      ted => 'margeret',
                  },
       };
   HashMerge.set_behaviour( 'RIGHT_PRECEDENT' );
   c = a.merge( b ); %]

DESCRIPTION

Template::Toolkit plugin HashMergeVMethods provides the Hash::Merge functions merge and set_behaviour to be used within templates as virtual methods of hashes.

This can be useful in all cases a template works directly on data - e.g. when processing results from a query using Template::DBI and join the result with results from derived queries.

USAGE

[% USE HashMerge %]
[% USE HashMergeVMethods %]
[% HashMerge.set_behaviour( <behaviour name> );
   result = hash1.merge( hash2 ); %]

Detailed function description and default behaviours are available in Hash::Merge.

If you prefer to use object methods, see Template::Plugin::HashMerge.
