It's a cross between a Perl hash and a linked list. Use it whenever you want the speed and structure of a Perl hash, but the orderedness of a list. . See also Tie::IxHash by Gurusamy Sarathy. It's similar (it also does tied ordered hashes), but it has a different internal data structure and a different flavor of usage. Tie::IxHash stores its data internally as both a hash and an array in parallel. Tie::LLHash stores its data as a bidirectional linked list, making both inserts and deletes very fast. Tie::IxHash therefore makes your hash behave more like a list than Tie::LLHash does. Tie::LLHash keeps more of the hash flavor.
