NAME
    Acme::CPANModules::InterestingTies - List of interesting uses of the
    tie() interface

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.001 of
    Acme::CPANModules::InterestingTies (from Perl distribution
    Acme-CPANModules-InterestingTies), released on 2023-10-31.

DESCRIPTION
    The perl's tie interface allows you to create "magical" scalar, array,
    hash, or filehandle. When you read or set the value of these variables,
    various things can be triggered.

    This Acme::CPANModules list catalogs some of the interesting uses of the
    tie() interface.

    Acme::Tie::Formatted
        Author: MCMAHON <https://metacpan.org/author/MCMAHON>

        This module allows you to do sprintf() by accessing a hash key,
        e.g.:

         print $format{17, "%03x"};

        will output:

         011

        The nice thing about this is that the $format{...} term can be put
        inside double quote, although you have to use a different quote
        inside the quote, e.g.:

         print "The value is: $format{17, '%03x'}";
         print qq(The value is: $format{17, "%03x"});

        The module advertises the functionality as "printf inside print",
        although the author chose to accept a different argument order than
        printf. Instead of:

         FORMAT, LIST

        the FORMAT is put at the end:

         LIST, FORMAT

    Regexp::Common
        Author: ABIGAIL <https://metacpan.org/author/ABIGAIL>

        This module contains a collection of regular expression patterns. To
        access the patterns, you can use the tied hash %RE, e.g.:

         $RE{quoted}
         $RE{num}{real}

        You can also give arguments to customize the generated pattern:

         $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}]

        The advantage, again, is being able to be used inside a regular
        expression pattern.

        Note that the module also offers subroutine-based interface. I also
        created an alternative module called Regexp::Pattern which opts for
        the non-magical subroutine-based interface and offers smaller
        startup overhead.
