+
+SL::Util - Assorted utility functions
+
+=head1 OVERVIEW
+
+Most important things first:
+
+DO NOT USE C<@EXPORT> HERE! Only C<@EXPORT_OK> is allowed!
+
+=head1 FUNCTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<_hashify $num, @args>
+
+Hashifies the very last argument. Returns a list consisting of two
+parts:
+
+The first part are the first C<$num> elements of C<@args>.
+
+The second part depends on the remaining arguments. If exactly one
+argument remains and is a hash reference then its dereferenced
+elements will be used. Otherwise the remaining elements of C<@args>
+will be returned as-is.
+
+Useful if you want to write code that can be called from Perl code and
+Template code both. Example:
+
+  use SL::Util qw(_hashify);
+
+  sub do_stuff {
+    my ($self, %params) = _hashify(1, @_);
+    # Now do stuff, obviously!
+  }
