SYNOPSIS

9               use Tie::ToObject;
10
11               my $stolen = tied(%something);
12
13               tie %something_else, 'Tie::ToObject', $stolen;

DESCRIPTION

16       While "tie" in perldoc allows tying to an arbitrary object, the class
17       in question must support this in it's implementation of "TIEHASH",
18       "TIEARRAY" or whatever.
19
20       This class provides a very tie constructor that simply returns the
21       object it was given as it's first argument.
22
23       This way side effects of calling "$object->TIEHASH" are avoided.
24
25       This is used in Data::Visitor in order to tie a variable to an already
26       existing object. This is also useful for cloning, when you want to
27       clone the internal state object instead of going through the tie
28       interface for that variable.
