       File::ExtAttr::Tie provides access to extended attributes of a file through a tied hash. Creating a new
       key creates a new extended attribute associated with the file. Modifying the value or removing a key
       likewise modifies/removes the extended attribute.

       Internally this module uses the File::ExtAttr module. So it has the same restrictions as that module in
       terms of OS support.

       tie "File::ExtAttr::Tie", $filename, [\%flags]
           The  flags  are  the same optional flags as in File::ExtAttr.  Any flags given here will be passed to
           all operations on the tied hash.  Only the "namespace" flag makes sense. The hash will be tied to the
           default namespace, if no flags are given.

       File::ExtAttr

         use File::ExtAttr::Tie;
         use Data::Dumper;

         tie %a,
           "File::ExtAttr::Tie", "/Applications (Mac  OS 9)/Sherlock 2",
           { namespace => 'user' };
         print Dumper \%a;

       produces:

         $VAR1 = {
                  'com.apple.FinderInfo' => 'APPLfndf!?',
                  'com.apple.ResourceFork' => '?p?p5I'
                 };
