NAME

  Data::Tools provides set of basic functions for data manipulation.

SYNOPSIS

  use Data::Tools qw( :all );

  my $res  = file_save( $file_name, 'file data here' );
  my $data = file_load( $file_name );
  
  my $res  = dir_path_make( '/path/to/somewhere' ); # create full path with 0700
  my $res  = dir_path_make( '/new/path', MASK => 0755 ); # ...with mask 0755
  my $path = dir_path_ensure( '/path/s/t/h' ); # ensure path exists, check+make
  
  my $escaped   = str_url_escape( $plain_str ); # url-style %XX escaping
  my $plain_str = str_url_unescape( $escaped );
  
  my $hex_str   = str_hex( $plain_str ); # hex-style string escaping
  my $plain_str = str_unhex( $hex_str );
  
  my $hash_str = hash2str( $hash_ref ); # convert hash to string "key=value\n"
  my $hash_ref = str2hash( $hash_str );
  
  # save/load hash in str_url_escaped form to/from a file
  my $res      = hash_save( $file_name, $hash_ref );
  my $hash_ref = hash_load( $file_name );
  
  my $perl_pkg_fn = perl_package_to_file( 'Data::Tools' ); # returns "Data/Tools.pm"

  # calculating hex digests
  my $whirlpool_hex = wp_hex( $data );
  my $sha1_hex      = sha1_hex( $data );
  my $md5_hex       = md5_hex( $data );
