Lire::Group3pm

new( %params )

Creates a new instance of a group aggregator. In addition to the normal report operator parameters, the limit attribute can be initialized at creation time.

limit( [$new_limit] )

Returns the number of keys to display in the report. This can be an integer or the name of one of the report specification parameter (when it starts by $).

The limit attribute can be changed by passing a $new_limit parameter.

sort_fields( [$new_sort_fields] )

Returns fields and/or operator values which are going to be used to sort the entries generated by this aggregator. This is an array reference containing group field names and/or operator's name.

The sorting fields can be changed by passing a new array reference.

group_fields( [$new_fields] )

Returns as a reference to an array of Lire::GroupField objects the DLF fields that are used to group the records.

If the $new_fields is set, the DLF fields used to group the records will be changed. This parameter should be a reference to an array of Lire::GroupField objects.

binary_insert

Recursive function that uses a binary search to insert $item in $array using $cmp as comparison operator. $first_idx and $max_idx specify the boundaries of the search. Search ends when $first_idx == $max_idx or when $sort_key sorts at or before $first_idx or at or after $max_idx
