NAME

Tie::Restore - restores ties to an existing object

DESCRIPTION

Provides the opposite of the 'tied' function. Say you have %hash that is tied to $object. Then, it is relatively simple to get $object from %hash simply by saying

 $object = tied %hash;

But, how does one go the other way? Simple, with Tie::Restore

 tie %hash, 'Tie::Restore', $object;

Works for any kind of tie. (scalar, array, hash, filehandle)
