in reply to Re: Tied Variables - why? in thread Tied Variables - why?
Apache::Session is not a good poster child for the use of tied interfaces. There is a constant stream of questions on the mod_perl and Mason mailing lists from people who are having problems becuase of it. They get bitten by scoping problems, can't figure out how to call methods on the tied hash, or have trouble with deep updates (updating something that is not at the top level of the hash, which fails to call the STORE method in Apache::Session). Many of these problems would just go away if Apache::Session didn't have a tied interface.
