Nice corollary, but this isn't really what Tie::HashWrapper addresses.
Tie::HashWrapper is a general utility that could be used by you to clean
up your code that was:
tie %tied, 'MyDBM', ...;
my $q = CGI->new($tied{key});
$q->param("x", "y");
$tied{key} = $q->query_string;
to
tie %wrappee, 'MyDBM', ...;
tie %tied, 'Tie::HashWrapper', \%wrappee,
-deflate_value => sub { shift->query_string },
-inflate_value => sub { CGI->new(shift)->Vars };
$tied{key}{x} = "y";

C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes
that harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
