Is there an one liner to do the following, which is not hard to do in more than a few lines: Given an array, and an integer, want to distribute this integer roughly evenly among this array elements, result should be a hash:
my @array=qw(a b c d e);
my $num = 13;
# so every element should get 2 = int(13/5), with the
# remaining 3 given to the first three (or randomly).
# Desired result:
my %result = (a=>3, b=>3,c=>3,d=>2,e=>2);
Thanks.
My current version is something like:
my $averge = int($num/@array);
my %result = map{$_=>$average} @array;
for my $i(1..($num - $average*@array)){
++$result{$array[$i-1]};
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
