 Magic is Perl way of enhancing objects.
-This mechanism lets the user add extra data to any variable and hook syntaxical operations (such as access, assignation or destruction) that can be applied to it.

 With this module, you can add your own magic to any variable without having to write a single line of XS.
 
 You'll realize that these magic variables look a lot like tied variables.

 This magic is a little special : it is called when the 'size' or the 'length' of the variable has to be known by Perl.
-Typically, it's the magic involved when an array is evaluated in scalar context, but also on array assignation and loops (C<for>, C<map> or C<grep>).
