+=head1 NAME
+
+Tie::RefHash - use references as hash keys
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    require 5.004;
+    use Tie::RefHash;
+    tie HASHVARIABLE, 'Tie::RefHash', LIST;
+    tie HASHVARIABLE, 'Tie::RefHash::Nestable', LIST;
+
+    untie HASHVARIABLE;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides the ability to use references as hash keys if you
+first C<tie> the hash variable to this module.  Normally, only the
+keys of the tied hash itself are preserved as references; to use
+references as keys in hashes-of-hashes, use Tie::RefHash::Nestable,
+included as part of Tie::Hash.
+
+It is implemented using the standard perl TIEHASH interface.  Please
+see the C<tie> entry in perlfunc(1) and perltie(1) for more information.
+
+The Nestable version works by looking for hash references being stored
+and converting them to tied hashes so that they too can have
+references as keys.  This will happen without warning whenever you
+store a reference to one of your own hashes in the tied hash.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLE
+
+    use Tie::RefHash;
+    tie %h, 'Tie::RefHash';
+    $a = [];
+    $b = {};
+    $c = \*main;
+    $d = \"gunk";
+    $e = sub { 'foo' };
+    %h = ($a => 1, $b => 2, $c => 3, $d => 4, $e => 5);
+    $a->[0] = 'foo';
+    $b->{foo} = 'bar';
+    for (keys %h) {
+       print ref($_), "\n";
+    }
+
+    tie %h, 'Tie::RefHash::Nestable';
+    $h{$a}->{$b} = 1;
+    for (keys %h, keys %{$h{$a}}) {
+       print ref($_), "\n";
