+=head2 Self-tying Problems
 
 Self-tying of arrays and hashes is broken in rather deep and
 hard-to-fix ways.  As a stop-gap measure to avoid people from getting
 frustrated at the mysterious results (core dumps, most often) it is
 for now forbidden (you will get a fatal error even from an attempt).
 
+Self-tying of globs is broken, but not disabled.

+Self-tying of scalars and IO works.
