OK, the above stuff is all good. and now i have another question. the
following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Tie::Scalar;
use DB_File;
my ($f,@f,%f);
tie %f, "DB_File", "file.txt" ;
$f{'a'}='aaaa';
untie %f;
%f = ();
tie %f, "DB_File", "file.txt" ;
@f = %f;
print "
@f";
tie $f,"Tie::StdScalar","scalar.txt","\$f";
$f = 'a';
untie $f;
$f = '';
tie $f,"Tie::StdScalar","scalar.txt","\$f";
print "
$f
";
produces:
a aaaa
scalar.txt
shouldn't the second line be 'a', i.e., shouldn't 'StdScalar' work along
the
lines of the code handling the tied hash variable? if this is not true, is
there a module that does work similarly to 'DB_File', i.e., one that
enables
tie-ing a text file to a scalar?
