It occurs that I have a problem with naming structure inherited from the guy who wrote the package that I'm working to supercede. He (I) have a module/package named IPC::MM (IPC::MMA).

Using this, people want to tie to names IPC::MM::Scalar and IPC::MM::Hash (IPC::MMA::Scalar, IPC::MMA::Array, IPC::MMA::Hash). The way he did this was to write out the names of the tie routines in full in MM.pm, like this:
# Preloaded methods go here.
sub IPC::MM::Scalar::TIESCALAR {
    my $class = shift;
    my ($val) = @_;
    return bless \$val, $class;
}

This works in preloaded form, but it seems it can't be autoloaded.

In my .xs file there is a nice little header:
MODULE = IPC::MMA       PACKAGE = IPC::MMA

[download]
and one can have other headers that vary these names. But I don't know of any comparable structure on the .pm side. Assuming that I want to keep the inherited naming structure, what can I do in the .pm file (files?) to straighten out this mess?
