Define an unmodifiable empty map
# perl does not provide unmodifiable maps/hashes, but you could use "constant
# functions", if you really need them
# 2011-07-06 Not actually true, see Hash::Util::lock_hash;
sub MAP () { {} }
# functions", if you really need them
# 2011-07-06 Not actually true, see Hash::Util::lock_hash;
sub MAP () { {} }
use Hash::Util qw/lock_hash/;
# two lines
my %hash;
lock_hash(%hash);
# or in one line
lock_hash(my %locked_hash);
# two lines
my %hash;
lock_hash(%hash);
# or in one line
lock_hash(my %locked_hash);
Map empty = Collections.EMPTY_MAP;
SortedMap empty = MapUtils.EMPTY_SORTED_MAP;
