The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Tie::CompactArray
DSLIP: cdprp
description: Space-efficient, numeric-only perl arrays.
userid: BROWSERUK (NJS)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
perlmonks.com
similar:
Tie::SubstrHash
rationale:
Similar in concept to Tie::SubstrHash, the idea is to trade speed
for space and flexibility to allow the creation of very large arrays
of numeric data whilst supporting all the standard array mechanisms.
Packs fixed size numeric values in to a string. The use may specify
the size (pack format) used on creation.
Preliminary measurements show that space for a 16 million element
float array can be reduced from over 500 MB to 125 MB. (Crude
measurements made, confirmation pending.).
Supports all the standard mechanisms including push, pop, splice
delete and autovivification.
