add PATH method?

[djerius]

I've recently been traversing Data::Hive structures, and in doing so find myself maintaining a copy of the path to each sub-hive that I'm visiting. This is redundant, as each sub-hive already has a copy of its path.

Is there any appetite for adding a PATH method, such that

$hive->ROOT->HIVE( $hive->PATH ) == $hive?

I'm happy to contribute code for this.

Thanks,
Diab

Well, it's been a million years, but: sure, as long as it's a shallow copy, not the same ref!
