@subheading NAME


CfgTie::TieGeneric --- A generic hash that automatically binds others

@subheading SYNOPSIS

This is an associative array that automatially ties other configuration hashes

@subheading DESCRIPTION

This is a tie to bring other ties together automatically so you, the busy
programmer and/or system administrator, don't have to.  The related Perl
module is not loaded unless it is needed at runtime.
@example
        my %gen;
        tie %gen, 'CfgTie::TieGeneric';
@end example

@subsubheading Primary, or well-known, keys

@cindex Primary, or well-known, keys

@table @asis

@item @code{env}
@vindex @code{env}

This refers directly to the @code{ENV} hash.

@item @code{group}
@vindex @code{group}

@item @code{mail}
@vindex @code{mail}

This is a special key.  It forms a hash, with subkeys.  See below for more
information

@item @code{net}
@vindex @code{net}

This is a special key.  It forms a hash with additional subkeys. See
below for more details.

@item @code{user}
@vindex @code{user}

This is a link to the @code{TieUser} module (

).

@item @emph{Composite}
@cindex @emph{Composite}

Composite primary keys are just like absolute file paths.  For example, if
you wanted to do something like this:
@example
        my %lusers = $gen@{'user'@};
        my $Favorite_User = $lusers@{'mygirl'@};
@end example

You could just do:
@example
        my $Favorite_User = $gen@{'/users/mygirl'@};
@end example

@item others...
