I guess the big problem for me here is "why?". What problem does this solve? Or are you doing it just because you can?

In all the Perl programming I've done, I've never found myself saying "gee, I wish this thing could act like a scalar, array, and a hash!". And I've done a lot of Perl programming, even a lot of unusual programming for my column articles and lecture examples.
