-As the first Perl data type to be tied (see dbmopen()), associative arrays
-have the most complete and useful tie() implementation.  A class
-implementing a tied associative array should define the following
-methods:  TIEHASH is the constructor.  FETCH and STORE access the key and
-value pairs.  EXISTS reports whether a key is present in the hash, and
-DELETE deletes one.  CLEAR empties the hash by deleting all the key and
-value pairs.  FIRSTKEY and NEXTKEY implement the keys() and each()
-functions to iterate over all the keys.  And DESTROY is called when the
-tied variable is garbage collected.

-If this seems like a lot, then feel free to inherit from

-the interesting ones.  See L<Tie::Hash> for details.

 and the key existing in the hash but having a corresponding value of
