Re^2: tie() weirdness

Update: This diagnosis is mistaken — see below.

I read all of your posts in this thread (replying just to this one out of convenience). Since you submitted a fix yourself, you may be interested to read the replies I got after having submitted a bug report.

Thanks for the pointer.

Update: In case it isn't clear, Rafael was talking about my fix when he said that it's fixed in bleadperl.

There is truth in what dave_the_m says, but the fact is that this behaviour is highly surprising, and can be fixed. It's better to make things behave sensibly than to spin elaborate explanations of why they don't. :-)
