NAME
Tie::Scalar, Tie::StdScalar - base class definitions for tied scalars
SYNOPSIS
package NewScalar;
require Tie::Scalar;
@ISA = (Tie::Scalar);
sub FETCH { ... } # Provide a needed method
sub TIESCALAR { ... } # Overrides inherited method
package NewStdScalar;
require Tie::Scalar;
@ISA = (Tie::StdScalar);
# All methods provided by default, so define only what needs be overridden
sub FETCH { ... }
package main;
tie $new_scalar, 'NewScalar';
tie $new_std_scalar, 'NewStdScalar';
DESCRIPTION
This module provides some skeletal methods for scalar-tying classes. See
perltie for a list of the functions required in tying a scalar to a
package. The basic Tie::Scalar package provides a "new" method, as well
as methods "TIESCALAR", "FETCH" and "STORE". The Tie::StdScalar
package provides all the methods specified in perltie. It inherits from
Tie::Scalar and causes scalars tied to it to behave exactly like the
built-in scalars, allowing for selective overloading of methods. The "new"
method is provided as a means of grandfathering, for classes that forget to
provide their own "TIESCALAR" method.
For developers wishing to write their own tied-scalar classes, the methods
are summarized below. The perltie section not only documents these, but
has sample code as well:
TIESCALAR classname, LIST
The method invoked by the command "tie $scalar, classname". Associates a new
scalar instance with the specified class. "LIST" would represent additional
arguments (along the lines of AnyDBM_File and compatriots) needed to
complete the association.
FETCH this
Retrieve the value of the tied scalar referenced by this.
STORE this, value
Store data value in the tied scalar referenced by this.
DESTROY this
Free the storage associated with the tied scalar referenced by this.
This is rarely needed, as Perl manages its memory quite well. But the
option exists, should a class wish to perform specific actions upon the
destruction of an instance.
MORE INFORMATION
The perltie section uses a good example of tying scalars by associating
process IDs with priority.
