Perhaps old news to those who know Perl inside and out, but I was updating my Perl modules the other day and saw Variable::Magic so I had to investigate.
It appears to be able to do some cool stuff (or allow really obscure programming).. The most obvious use I see is in debugging, to display values before and after an operation, for those types that are handled. (E.g. set is never invoked for hashes; get is never invoked for arrays or hashes.) Other than making code only you can follow (if you can later recall), I'm not sure it would have any other practical use. If you do have another practical use, I'd be interested to know what it is.
