Subject: Symbol::Table::Tie does not supply EXISTS
If you attempt to determine if a symbol table entry exists using something like: while(my($k, $v) = each(%$cur)) { $new->{$k} = $v unless exists $new->{$k}; } Symbol::Table crashes with the following error: Can't locate object method "EXISTS" via package "Symbol::Table::Tie" Being able to test for the existance of a symbol table entry (as opposed to just whether or not it's defined) would sure be useful!

Wow, that's strange. I thought that one worked. Will look into it when I get some cycles. Thanks, Greg Show quoted text
