=head1 NAME

Sort::Sub::by_perl_code - Sort by Perl code

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.120 of Sort::Sub::by_perl_code (from Perl distribution Sort-Sub), released on 2020-05-25.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Generate sorter (accessed as variable) via L<Sort::Sub> import:

 use Sort::Sub '$by_perl_code'; # use '$by_perl_code<i>' for case-insensitive sorting, '$by_perl_code<r>' for reverse sorting
 my @sorted = sort $by_perl_code ('item', ...);

Generate sorter (accessed as subroutine):

 use Sort::Sub 'by_perl_code<ir>';
 my @sorted = sort {by_perl_code} ('item', ...);

Generate directly without Sort::Sub:

 use Sort::Sub::by_perl_code;
 my $sorter = Sort::Sub::by_perl_code::gen_sorter(
     ci => 1,      # default 0, set 1 to sort case-insensitively
     reverse => 1, # default 0, set 1 to sort in reverse order
 );
 my @sorted = sort $sorter ('item', ...);

Use in shell/CLI with L<sortsub> (from L<App::sortsub>):

 % some-cmd | sortsub by_perl_code
 % some-cmd | sortsub by_perl_code --ignore-case -r

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This:

 use Sort::Sub '$by_perl_code', {code=>'length $_[0] <=> length $_[1]'};
 my @sorted = sort $by_perl_code @data;

is equivalent to:

 my @sorted = sort { length $a <=> length $b } @data;

Case-sensitivity flag C<i> is not relevant.

=for Pod::Coverage ^(gen_sorter|meta)$

=head1 SORT ARGUMENTS

C<*> marks required arguments.

=head2 code*

str.

Either compiled code or string code excluding the "sub {" and "}" enclosure.

Code should accept two arguments (the operands to be compared) and is expected
to return -1, 0, -1 like the builtin C<cmp> operator.
