It is truly remarkable the lengths that Perl programmers seem to be willing go to in order to hide a function call or obscure the existence of an object. :)
I'm not an advocate of the feature, but it is novel. Tying is a requirement of Perl, or so Dan has told me. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I've seen any official requirement for tying namespaces, but it is probably orthogonal to tying classes. You might not want to take my example seriously as I'm not a Perl6 authority.
