=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Data::Tie::Watch;

 $watch = Data::Tie::Watch->new(
     -variable => \$frog,
     -shadow   => 0,			  
     -fetch    => [\&fetch, 'arg1', 'arg2', ..., 'argn'],
     -store    => \&store,
     -destroy  => sub {print "Final value=$frog.\n"},
 }
 $val   = $watch->Fetch;
 $watch->Store('Hello');
 $watch->Unwatch;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Note: This is a copy of Tk's Tie::Watch.
Copied to avoid the Tk depedency.

This class module binds one or more subroutines of your devising to a
Perl variable.  All variables can have B<FETCH>, B<STORE> and
B<DESTROY> callbacks.  Additionally, arrays can define B<CLEAR>,
B<DELETE>, B<EXISTS>, B<EXTEND>, B<FETCHSIZE>, B<POP>, B<PUSH>,
B<SHIFT>, B<SPLICE>, B<STORESIZE> and B<UNSHIFT> callbacks, and hashes
can define B<CLEAR>, B<DELETE>, B<EXISTS>, B<FIRSTKEY> and B<NEXTKEY>
callbacks.  If these term are unfamiliar to you, I I<really> suggest
you read L<perltie>.

With Data::Tie::Watch you can:

 . alter a variable's value
 . prevent a variable's value from being changed
 . invoke a Perl/Tk callback when a variable changes
 . trace references to a variable

Callback format is patterned after the Perl/Tk scheme: supply either a
code reference, or, supply an array reference and pass the callback
code reference in the first element of the array, followed by callback
arguments.  (See examples in the Synopsis, above.)

Tie::Watch provides default callbacks for any that you fail to
specify.  Other than negatively impacting performance, they perform
the standard action that you'd expect, so the variable behaves
"normally".  Once you override a default callback, perhaps to insert
debug code like print statements, your callback normally finishes by
calling the underlying (overridden) method.  But you don't have to!

To map a tied method name to a default callback name simply lowercase
the tied method name and uppercase its first character.  So FETCH
becomes Fetch, NEXTKEY becomes Nextkey, etcetera.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

    $watch->Fetch();  $watch->Fetch($key);

Returns a variable's current value.  $key is required for an array or
hash.

    $watch->Store($new_val);  $watch->Store($key, $new_val);

Store a variable's new value.  $key is required for an array or hash.

=head2 new

Watch constructor.

The *real* constructor is Data::Tie::Watch->base_watch(),
invoked by methods in other Watch packages, depending upon the variable's
type.  Here we supply defaulted parameter values and then verify them,
normalize all callbacks and bind the variable to the appropriate package.

The watchpoint constructor method that accepts option/value pairs to
create and configure the Watch object.  The only required option is
B<-variable>.

B<-variable> is a I<reference> to a scalar, array or hash variable.

B<-shadow> (default 1) is 0 to disable array and hash shadowing.  To
prevent infinite recursion Data::Tie::Watch maintains parallel variables for
arrays and hashes.  When the watchpoint is created the parallel shadow
variable is initialized with the watched variable's contents, and when
the watchpoint is deleted the shadow variable is copied to the original
variable.  Thus, changes made during the watch process are not lost.
Shadowing is on by default.  If you disable shadowing any changes made
to an array or hash are lost when the watchpoint is deleted.

Specify any of the following relevant callback parameters, in the
format described above: B<-fetch>, B<-store>, B<-destroy>.
Additionally for arrays: B<-clear>, B<-extend>, B<-fetchsize>,
B<-pop>, B<-push>, B<-shift>, B<-splice>, B<-storesize> and
B<-unshift>.  Additionally for hashes: B<-clear>, B<-delete>,
B<-exists>, B<-firstkey> and B<-nextkey>.

=head2 callback

 Execute a Watch callback, either the default or user specified.
 Note that the arguments are those supplied by the tied method,
 not those (if any) specified by the user when the watch object
 was instantiated.  This is for performance reasons.

 $_[0] = self
 $_[1] = callback type
 $_[2] through $#_ = tied arguments

=head1 EFFICIENCY CONSIDERATIONS

If you can live with using the class methods provided, please do so.
You can meddle with the object hash directly and improve watch
performance, at the risk of your code breaking in the future.
