SpanishInquisition,
how do you expect people to find your module when they want a solution for that use case?

By using http://search.cpan.org.

I had considered that originally when I requested feedback on adding functionality to Tie::Hash::Sorted. There wasn't any "I would certainly use your module if only it had feature x". The new idea of top/bottom x fell into the same ranking theme as a few of the other ideas I had so it makes logical sense to group them together.

I am not sure extending it will help. I get the feeling people don't find it useful. I have Super Searched here for people suggesting Tie::Hash::Sorted as a solution. Other than myself and diotalevi, who helped me considerably on the module, there is not a single instance.* I originally wrote the module not for my own use, but in response to a SoPW question here. That is also the only reason I would write the new module or extend the current one. I don't want to waste my time if no one feels it will be useful.

Cheers - L~R

* There is one instance, but it was prompted by myself in a /msg
