## 8.157 Tie::Scalar, Tie::StdScalar

Provides some skeletal methods for scalar-tying classes. The basic Tie::Scalar package provides a `new` method, as well as methods `TIESCALAR`, `FETCH`, and `STORE`. The Tie::StdScalar package inherits from Tie::Scalar and causes scalars tied to it to behave like the built-in scalars, allowing for selective overloading of methods. The `new` method is provided as backup in case a class has no `TIESCALAR` method.

To write your own tied hashes, the methods listed here are required. See the perltie manpage for more detailed information and for examples.

- TIESCALAR
- DESTROY
- FETCH
- STORE
