Hi,
I suppose that they are different approach, with the tie approach you can use only the
operational available to the actual perl type (array, or hash for example).

The main purpose of this ITP, anyway, is to add a missing dependency for
libb-hooks-endofscope-perl, currently packaged by the debian perl group (same as this
ITP).
