  Description     : Perl module implementing a lightweight field hash

Hash::FieldHash provides the field hash mechanism which supports the inside-out technique.

You may know Hash::Util::FieldHash. It's a very useful module, but too complex to understand all the functions.

This is an alternative to H::U::F with following features:

Simpler interface
  Hash::FieldHash provides a few functions: fieldhash() and fieldhashes().
  That's enough.

Higher performance
  Hash::FieldHash is faster than Hash::Util::FieldHash, because its internals
  use simpler structures.
