in reply to Re^4: Blessing tied hash
in thread Blessing tied hash

That makes sense. Although bless() requires a reference to the thingy, bless() makes the thingy blessed, not the reference itself. I didn't care this slight difference. In this context, to bless a tied hash, we pass the reference (to a tied hash) to bless().
