I've been bitten by a side effect, here's example code from documentation of Net::SSLeay::Handle:

   my $socket \*S1;
   if ($scheme eq "https") {
        tie(*S2, "Net::SSLeay::Handle", $socket);
        $socket = \*S2;
   }
[download]

This works OK, unfortunatelly I used it in a library inside object, so when you brought two life multiple such objects

for $sth (@sth) {
  my $object=new STH;
  $objects{$sth}=$object;
};
[download]

the whole shebang failed miserably (the last invocation of $object hides every other SSLeay::Handle (there is only one \*S2)

Now I'm trying to fix the code, here's my attempt which seems to work at the moment:

 {my $io=new IO::Handle; tie(*$io, "Net::SSLeay::Handle", $socket);$so
+cket = \*$io;};


 {
  my $io=new IO::Handle; 
  tie(*$io, "Net::SSLeay::Handle", $socket);
  $socket = \*$io;
 };
[download]

AFAIK this works because every $io=new IO::Handle generates unique identifier, so my code above might be replaced with

 $global-net-ssleay-counter++;
 tie(*$global.....
[download]

and it would still work, and wouldn't depend on chance (I hope two IO::Handle->new()don't get the same identifier).

What is the proper solution to this? How should I use Net::SSLeay::Handle?
