METHODS

new

This initiates the module.

One argument is taken and that is a hash ref with two possible keys, 'type' and 'invert'. If not passed or any of the keys are undef, then the defaults will be used.

'type' is the module to use. It is relative to 'Net::Connection::Sort', so 'host_f' becomes 'Net::Connection::Sort::host_f'.

my $sort_args={
              type=>'host_f',
              invert=>0,
              };

my $mcs;
eval{
    $ncs=Net::Connection::Sort->new( $sort_args );
};

if ( ! defined( $mcs ) ){
    print "Failed to init the sorter... ".$@;
}

sorter

This sorts the array of Net::Connection objects.

One object is taken and that is a array of objects.

my @sorted=$mcs->sorter( \@objects );

print Dumper( \@sorted );
