Synopsis

tied variable
                  

Returns a reference to the object underlying variable (the same value that was originally returned by the tie call that bound the variable to a package). It returns the undefined value if variable isn’t tied to a package. So, for example, you can use:

ref tied %hash

to find out which package your hash is currently tied to.
