gflohr / data-walk Goto Github PK

Thank you for this module, which is very useful! In my use case, I am changing elements of $Data::Walk::container in a preprocess() function. I can change $container->[$idx] for arrays. However, for hashrefs, I cannot access the original container. https://metacpan.org/source/GUIDO/Data-Walk-2.01/lib/Data/Walk.pm#L141 says, in the case of hashrefs,

local $container = \@children;

Therefore, $Data::Walk::container does not actually point to the container, for hashrefs. Instead, it points to a shallow-copied arrayref of the hash keys and values.

Would you be willing to add a way to access the original hashref container for hashrefs? Thank you for considering this request!
