SYNOPSIS

  use Tie::Scalar::Callback;

  # this coderef doubles the scalar's value everytime it's fetched
  my $coderef = sub {
        state $value  = 1/2;
        state $factor = 2;
        $value *= $factor;
    }
  };

  tie(my $doubler, 'Tie::Scalar::Callback', $coderef);

  print $doubler; 1
  print $doubler; 2
  print $doubler; 4

DESCRIPTION

Tie::Scalar::Callback is a class for creating tied scalars which execute a callback everytime an event occurs on the scalar. The callback's return value becomes the scalar's apparent value.
