in reply to Re^2: Tie a hash of hashes?
in thread Tie a hash of hashes?

Tie::IxHash doesn't even work in that situation. The problem is that when you use a hash reference altogether -- that is, $hash{x} = { ... } -- you are creating a hash reference in Perl, and that is not "caught" by Tie::IxHash. You can't achieve the desired goal the way File is set up. You'll need to change it, no matter what you do.
