Subject: object stringification triggered on older perls.
Hi, I have a class which overloads the stringify operator. If I insert an object reference into a Hash::FieldHash managed hash on perl 5.8.8 the stringification function is called. Under Perl 5.10.0 the stringification function is not called. I've attached a short example. Is it possible to avoid the stringification? Thanks, Diab

Unfortunately it seems impossible. I have read the perl source code (hv.c), and then saw that perl triggers stringification before calling tie handlers. I can do nothing about it :( Regards, -- Goro Fuji (gfx) GFUJI at CPAN.org

That's indeed unfortunate. Thanks for looking into this.
