Tie::ToObject(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Tie::ToObject(3)NAMETie::ToObject - Tie to an existing object.
SYNOPSIS
use Tie::ToObject;
my $stolen = tied(%something);
tie %something_else, 'Tie::ToObject', $stolen;
DESCRIPTION
While "tie" in perldoc allows tying to an arbitrary object, the class
in question must support this in it's implementation of "TIEHASH",
"TIEARRAY" or whatever.
This class provides a very tie constructor that simply returns the
object it was given as it's first argument.
This way side effects of calling "$object->TIEHASH" are avoided.
This is used in Data::Visitor in order to tie a variable to an already
existing object. This is also useful for cloning, when you want to
clone the internal state object instead of going through the tie
interface for that variable.
