    use DCE::Status;

    $errstr = error_inq_text($status);

    tie $status => DCE::Status;

When a $scalar is tie'd to the DCE::Status class, it has a different value depending on the context it is evaluated in, similar to the magic $! variable. When evaluated in a numeric context, the numeric value is returns, otherwise, the string value obtained from dce_error_inq_text is returned.
