how'd you do that?

See the module Object::MultiType (link in the main node). To make it work I have used overload, where you can use methods to return the value of an object when it's accessed as ${}, @{}, %{}, &{}, *{}, and other ways (see the overload POD).

I have used a Saver object inside the main object too, where the different data types are saved. And other cool thing, is that all the different objects that are returned from XML::Smart, share the same XML tree, soo, when an object comes from another (clone), it's the same obj, but that points to a different part in the tree, what use less memory.

Than I linked the overload resource with a tied HASH and ARRAY that work togetther to work Smart with the XML tree. ;-P

See the source of the module, it's at least educational, but I think it cool too. ;)
