Hi-dilly ho-dilly, Monkerinos...

Say I were to tie a hash to something... 

tie(%hash, 'My::Hash::Tie::Class', @args);

[download]

With 'tied', I can get at the underlying stored object: 

my $obj = tied(%hash);

[download]

What I want to do is sort of the inverse of tied -- given an underlying object that is an instance of My::Hash::Tie::Class, I want to be able to recreate a tied hash: 

my %newhash = Foo($obj);

[download]

And now %newhash is a tied hash to My::Hash::Tie::Class... though I'm not sure if it would be a copy-by-ref or a copy-by-value of the original %hash. (Not much sure if it makes a difference to met yet, either.)

Any suggestions on what Foo() should be? Either how to create it myself, or what real function / CPAN module / etc. exists out there already? Note that I'm not just looking for functions. Whatever method does the job, I'm happy with.

Cheers,
Richard
