NAME

       Bio::DB::GFF::Util::Rearrange - rearrange utility

SYNOPSIS

        use Bio::DB::GFF::Util::Rearrange 'rearrange';

        my ($arg1,$arg2,$arg3,$others) = rearrange(['ARG1','ARG2','ARG3'],@args);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a different version of the _rearrange() method from Bio::Root::Root.  It runs as a
       function call, rather than as a method call, and it handles unidentified parameters
       slightly differently.

       It exports a single function call:

       @rearranged_args = rearrange(\@parameter_names,@parameters);
           The first argument is an array reference containing list of parameter names in the
           desired order.  The second and subsequent arguments are a list of parameters in the
           format:

             (-arg1=>$arg1,-arg2=>$arg2,-arg3=>$arg3...)

           The function calls returns the parameter values in the order in which they were
           specified in @parameter_names.  Any parameters that were not found in @parameter_names
           are returned in the form of a hash reference in which the keys are the uppercased
           forms of the parameter names, and the values are the parameter values.

BUGS

       None known yet.
