Whatever came of the "Can't upgrade that kind of scalar" errors with

Here is the URL to the root of the thread you are talking about:

Did you ask the perl core guys what they wanted to do with it?
 

I never made such a promise...did you ever post the patch you wrote 
about here:

I've just spent the last few days hacking around this.  The solution I
came up with (I'll post the patch on tuesday or so) was to make links
always return an array ref (tied to DBIx::Recordset), rather than the
full glob.

(I'm wondering whether the current "using globref as both arrayref and
hashref" approach has a future at all..)
 

There is a nice Perl package called Object::Multitype that allows for an 
object to be used as an array and hash without the glob issues... but it 
is bound to be slow.
