NAME

Role::TinyCommons::Collection::PickItems::RandomPos - Provide pick_items() that picks items by random positions

VERSION

This document describes version 0.009 of Role::TinyCommons::Collection::PickItems::RandomPos (from Perl distribution RoleBundle-TinyCommons-Collection), released on 2021-10-07.

DESCRIPTION

This role provides pick_items() that picks random items by position. It is more suitable for huge collections that support a fast get_item_at_pos (see Role::TinyCommons::Collection::GetItemByPos) and an efficient get_item_count, for example when you store your items in a Perl array (e.g. ArrayDataRole::Source::Array). If your collection does not support those methods, there's an alternative you can use: Role::TinyCommons::FindItems::Iterator.

Another alternative using binary search: Role::TinyCommons::Collection::PickItems::RandomSeekLines, if your items are lines from a filehandle.

ROLES MIXED IN

REQUIRED METHODS

get_item_at_pos

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
