Documentation patch: Tie::Hash, Tie::Scalar, Tie::SubstrHash
[This finishes a job started by Randy Ray with perl5.002b1f.] This patch updates the files lib/TieHash.pm and lib/SubstrHash.pm. Those two files are moved to a new directory called lib/Tie. A new tie-related class for scalars, lib/Tie/Scalar.pm, is added. Each of these has pod documentation that passes through pod2man without complaint. All package names are updated to reflect this structure, and the "standard" sub-classes for hashes and scalars are named Tie::StdHash and Tie::StdScalar, in keeping with the group consensus. With this, the documentation for Tie::Hash should be fine, Tie::Scalar exists and is documented, and Tie::SubstrHash (formerly just SubstrHash) is also documented, albeit weakly. I have no examples of usage to show, and I suspect a possible bug or two, but without examples it's hard to say. As it happens, this patch also impacts the DBM-style extensions, as they (DB_File, NDBM_File, GBM_File, ODBM_File, SDBM_File) all inherited from the old TieHash.pm as a base class.
