At the office I have been asked to become familiar with some of the Perl scripts on our Linux system with the eventual goal being I will make some modifications to the scripts.
I have written some small test scripts that load data into judy arrays using both the object and non-object interfaces to the judy module.
My test scripts have also done some basic querying which seems to work as expected.
However I am puzzled by some of the parameters to the "search()' routine. While looking at the code in the module I am studying I have noticed some values for the "min_key" and "max_key" parameters that I do not understand.
min_key => '.'
max_key => '/'
What are the effects of these parameters to search() ?
Since the code I am working on is at the office I can't show all the details, but here are a few lines extracted from the module i am studying
use Tie::Judy;
use strict;
no strict 'refs';
no strict 'subs';
sub work1 {
my ($args,$parm2,$parm3,$parm4,$parm5) = @_;
my $search;
$search->{'min_key'} = '/';
## snip ##
return(work2($search,$parm2,$parm3,$parm4,$parm5));
} # end of work1
sub work2 {
my ($args,$parm2,$parm3,$parm4,$parm5) = @_;
my @result = $judy->search(%{$args});
