=head1 NAME

MDK::Common::Func - miscellaneous functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use MDK::Common::Func qw(:all);

=head1 EXPORTS

=over

=item may_apply(CODE REF, SCALAR)

C<may_apply($f, $v)> is C<$f ? $f-E<gt>($v) : $v>

=item may_apply(CODE REF, SCALAR, SCALAR)

C<may_apply($f, $v, $otherwise)> is C<$f ? $f-E<gt>($v) : $otherwise>

=item if_(BOOL, LIST)

special constructs to workaround a missing perl feature:
C<if_($b, "a", "b")> is C<$b ? ("a", "b") : ()>

example of use: C<f("a", if_(arch() =~ /i.86/, "b"), "c")> which is not the
same as C<f("a", arch()=~ /i.86/ && "b", "c")>

=item if__(SCALAR, LIST)

if_ alike. Test if the value is defined

=item fold_left { CODE } LIST

if you don't know fold_left (aka foldl), don't use it ;p

    fold_left { $::a + $::b } 1, 3, 6

gives 10 (aka 1+3+6)

=item mapn { CODE } ARRAY REF, ARRAY REF, ...

map lists in parallel:

    mapn { $_[0] + $_[1] } [1, 2], [2, 4] # gives 3, 6
    mapn { $_[0] + $_[1] + $_[2] } [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 6] gives 6, 12

=item mapn_ { CODE } ARRAY REF, ARRAY REF, ... 

mapn alike. The difference is what to do when the lists have not the same
length: mapn takes the minimum common elements, mapn_ takes the maximum list
length and extend the lists with undef values

=item map_index { CODE } LIST

just like C<map>, but set C<$::i> to the current index in the list:

    map_index { "$::i $_" } "a", "b"

gives "0 a", "1 b"

=item grep_index { CODE } LIST

just like C<grep>, but set C<$::i> to the current index in the list:

    grep_index { $::i == $_ } 0, 2, 2, 3

gives (0, 2, 3)

=item find_index { CODE } LIST

returns the index of the first element where CODE returns true

    find_index { /foo/ } "fo", "fob", "foobar", "foobir"

gives 2

=item map_each { CODE } HASH

returns the list of results of CODE applied with $::a (key) and $::b (value)

    map_each { "$::a is $::b" } 1=>2, 3=>4

gives "1 is 2", "3 is 4"

=item grep_each { CODE } HASH

returns the hash key/value for which CODE applied with $::a (key) and $::b
(value) is true:

    grep_each { $::b == 2 } 1=>2, 3=>4, 4=>2

gives 1=>2, 4=>2

=item before_leaving { CODE }

the code will be executed when the current block is finished

    # create $tmp_file
    my $b = before_leaving { unlink $tmp_file };
    # some code that may throw an exception, the "before_leaving" ensures the
    # $tmp_file will be removed

=item cdie(SCALAR)

aka I<conditional die>. If a C<cdie> is catched, the execution continues
B<after> the cdie, not where it was catched (as happens with die & eval)

If a C<cdie> is not catched, it mutates in real exception that can be catched
with C<eval>

cdie is useful when you want to warn about something weird, but when you can
go on. In that case, you cdie "something weird happened", and the caller
decide wether to go on or not. Especially nice for libraries.

=item catch_cdie { CODE1 } sub { CODE2 }

If a C<cdie> occurs while executing CODE1, CODE2 is executed. If CODE2
returns true, the C<cdie> is catched.
