They are regular perl hashes with extra magic attached to the elements to do some extra bookkeeping behind the scenes. But that magic does not intercept the regular store/fetch operations of plain hashes. In fact, the field hash magic is orthogonal to ties, so you can actually tie a field hash. namespace::clean uses that. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=47948Thread Previous | Thread Next
