The tie() function binds a variable to a class (package) that will provide
the implementation for access methods for that variable. Once this magic
has been performed, accessing a tied variable automatically triggers
-method calls in the proper class. All of the complexity of the class is
+method calls in the proper class. The complexity of the class is
hidden behind magic methods calls. The method names are in ALL CAPS,
which is a convention that Perl uses to indicate that they're called
implicitly rather than explicitly--just like the BEGIN() and END()

-Note that functions such as keys() and values() may return huge array
-values when used on large objects, like DBM files. You may prefer to
-use the each() function to iterate over such. Example:
