The basic Tie::Scalar package provides a new method, as well as methods TIESCALAR, FETCH, and STORE. The new method is provided as backup in case a class has no TIESCALAR method.
To write your own tied hashes, the methods listed here are required. See the perltie manpage for more detailed information and for examples.
