Your right - forgotten about that.
You still have the problem of overloading tho - what if a subclass overloads "+"?
Unfortunately, there isn't an overload::NumVal to match overload::StrVal (unless I'm missing something somewhere ;-)
You can get around this by blessing the object into another class you know isn't overloaded, get the numeric ID, and then bless the object back into it's original class. For example:
package Foo::Base;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub self {
my $self = shift;
my $package = ref($self);
bless $self, __PACKAGE__;
my $id = $self+0;
bless $self, $package;
return($id);
};
package Foo;
use base qw(Foo::Base);
use strict;
use warnings;
my %foo = ();
sub new {
my $class = shift;
bless [], $class;
};
sub foo {
my $self = shift->self;
$foo{$self} = @_ if @_;
$foo{$self};
};
sub DESTROY {
my $self = shift->self;
delete $foo{$self};
};
Mildly evil - but seems to work.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
