# [NAME](#NAME)

Dpkg::Control::HashCore::Tie - ties a Dpkg::Control::Hash object

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This module provides a class that is used to tie a hash. It implements hash-like functions by normalizing the name of fields received in keys (using **Dpkg::Control::Fields::field\_capitalize()**). It also stores the order in which fields have been added to be able to dump them in the same order. But the order information is stored in a parent object of type Dpkg::Control.

**Note**: This is a private module, its API can change at any time.

# [FUNCTIONS](#FUNCTIONS)

$ctrl = Dpkg::Control::Hash->new($parent)

Return a reference to a tied hash implementing storage of simple "field: value" mapping as used in many Debian-specific files.

# [CHANGES](#CHANGES)

## [Version 0.xx](#Version_0.xx)

This is a private module.
