=head1 NAME

Data::Hierarchy - Handle data in a hierarchical structure

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $tree = Data::Hierarchy->new();
    $tree->store ('/', {access => 'all'});
    $tree->store ('/private', {access => 'auth',
                               '.note' => 'this is private});

    $info = $tree->get ('/private/somewhere/deep');

    # return actual data points in list context
    ($info, @fromwhere) = $tree->get ('/private/somewhere/deep');

    my @items = $tree->find ('/', {access => qr/.*/});

    # override all children
    $tree->store ('/', {'.note' => undef}, {override_sticky_descendents => 1});

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L provides a simple interface for manipulating
inheritable data attached to a hierarchical environment (like
a filesystem).

One use of L is to allow an application to annotate
paths in a real filesystem in a single compact data
structure. However, the hierarchy does not actually need to correspond
to an actual filesystem.

Paths in a hierarchy are referred to in a Unix-like syntax; C<"/"> is
the root "directory". (You can specify a different separator character
than the slash when you construct a Data::Hierarchy object.)  With the
exception of the root path, paths should never contain trailing
slashes. You can associate properties, which are arbitrary name/value
pairs, with any path.  (Properties cannot contain the undefined value.)
By default, properties are inherited by child
paths: thus, if you store some data at C:

    $tree->store('/some/path', {color => 'red'});

you can fetch it again at a C:

    print $tree->get('/some/path/below/that')->{'color'};
    # prints red

On the other hand, properties whose names begin with dots are
uninherited, or "sticky":

    $tree->store('/some/path', {'.color' => 'blue'});
    print $tree->get('/some/path')->{'.color'};            # prints blue
    print $tree->get('/some/path/below/that')->{'.color'}; # undefined

Note that you do not need to (and in fact, cannot) explicitly add
"files" or "directories" to the hierarchy; you simply add and delete
properties to paths.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

Creates a new hierarchy object.  Takes the following options:

=over

=item sep

The string used as a separator between path levels. Defaults to '/'.

sub new {

    my %args = (
                sep => '/',

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Instance Methods

=over

=cut

=item C

Given a path and a hash reference of properties, stores the properties
at the path.

Unless the C option is given with a false value,
it eliminates any non-sticky property in a descendent of C<$path> with
the same name.

If the C option is given with a true
value, it eliminates any sticky property in a descendent of C<$path>
with the same name.  override it.

A value of undef removes that value; note, though, that
if an ancestor of C<$path> defines that property, the ancestor's value
will be inherited there; that is, with:

    $t->store('/a',   {k => 'top'});
    $t->store('/a/b', {k => 'bottom'});
    $t->store('/a/b', {k => undef});
    print $t->get('/a/b')->{'k'};

it will print 'top'.

=item C

Given a path, looks up all of the properteies (sticky and not) and
returns them in a hash reference.  The values are clones, unless you
pass a true value for C<$dont_clone>.

If called in list context, returns that hash reference followed by all
of the ancestral paths of C<$path> which contain non-sticky properties
(possibly including itself).

    }
    return wantarray ? ($value, @datapoints) : $value;
}

=item C

Given a path and a hash reference of name/regular expression pairs,
returns a list of all paths which are descendents of C<$path>
(including itself) and define B (not inherited)
all of the properties in the hash with values matching the given
regular expressions.  (You may want to use C to merely see if
it has any value defined there.)  Properties can be sticky or not.

=item C

Given a second L object and a path, copies all the
properties from the other object at C<$path> or below into the
corresponding paths in the object this method is invoked on.  All
properties from the object this is invoked on at C<$path> or below are
erased first.

	}

    }

    $self->_remove_redundant_properties_and_undefs;
}

=item C

Given a path which B element of the hierarchy must be contained
in, returns a special Data::Hierarchy::Relative object which
represents the hierarchy relative that path. The B thing you can
do with a Data::Hierarchy::Relative object is call
C on it, which returns a new
L object at that base path. For example, if
everything in the hierarchy is rooted at C and it
needs to be moved to C, you can do

    $hierarchy = $hierarchy->to_relative('/home/super_project')->to_absolute('/home/awesome_project');

(Data::Hierarchy::Relative objects may be a more convenient
serialization format than Data::Hierarchy objects, if they are
tracking the state of some relocatable resource.)
