The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Attribute::TieClasses DSLIP: RdpOp description: attribute wrappers for CPAN Tie classes userid: MARCEL (Marcel Grunauer) chapterid: 2 (Perl_Core_Modules) communities: comp.lang.perl.modules similar: Attribute::Handlers rationale: SYNOPSIS use Attribute::TieClasses; my $k : Timeout(EXPIRES => '+2s'); # loads in Tie::Scalar::Timeout and tie()s $k with those options DESCRIPTION Damian Conway's wonderful `Attribute::Handlers' module provides an easy way to use attributes for `tie()'ing variables. In effect, the code in the synopsis is simply use Attribute::Handlers autotie => { Timeout => 'Tie::Scalar::Timeout' }; Still, going one step further, it might be useful to have centrally defined attributes corresponding to commonly used Tie classes found on CPAN. enteredby: MARCEL (Marcel Grunauer) enteredon: Sat May 19 11:29:38 2001 GMT The resulting entry would be: Attribute:: ::TieClasses RdpOp attribute wrappers for CPAN Tie classes MARCEL Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=76000000_c53ac52acc2eed7f&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=76000000_c53ac52acc2eed7f&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
