[Phoenix-pm] Meeting Followup

[Douglas E. Miles]

Thanks to everyone who made it out for the meeting last night! I enjoyed
meeting you or seeing you again. Here are the slides from the presentation:

The link to the video will be posted once we have it.

As I promised, I verified that yes, 'tie'ing to an incomplete class will
blow up as demonstrated here:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my %broken_hash;

tie(%broken_hash, 'Tie::Broken');

$broken_hash{foo} = "Foobar'd";

package Tie::Broken;

# TIEHASH
######################################################################

sub TIEHASH
{

  my $package = shift;
  my $class = ref($package) || $package;

  my $self = {@_};
  bless($self, $class);

  return $self;

} # END: TIEHASH

will give you:

Can't locate object method "STORE" via package "Tie::Broken" at
./tie_broken line 10.

But, Good news everyone!

There are base classes available which prevent you from having to
implement everything. See more here:
