But if that is indeed what you desire to say, then there is only
one level, and tie becomes eminently feasible.

        sub FETCH {
                my( $self, $key ) = @_;
                my @indices = split $;, $key;
                ...
        }

(I do something like this in my Tie::Multidim module :-)
