Primary problem with creating a Class::InsideOut is the problem of where the hashes go.
If you dont mind using dynamics for them then you have no problem. If you want them in lexicals then I would say theres not much room to manoever, and in hind site implementing an inside out object/attribute is so easy (its pretty small, heres what I use for good general coverage:)
use Scalar::Util qw(refaddr);
{
my %attrib;
sub inside_out {
my $s=shift;
if (@_) {
$attrib{refaddr($s)}=shift;
return $s;
} else {
return $attrib{refaddr($s)};
}
}
}
The refaddr is useful because it allows for $s to have stringification overloaded.
