in reply to blessless blessing

dbmopen creates a blessed object behind the tied hash that you can access with tied. Does that help?

    The rules say no modules, no tie, no bless. It looks like you can create a AnyDBM_File::TIEHASH sub and avoid any module or literal tie, so this is a way to do a tieless tie; however, in the end, the TIEHASH sub has to do a bless.
