Both are based on lexical scoping to enforce encapsulation.
But an entire different kind of encapsulation! The closure based method as outline does data inheritance. By default, and you'll need to do work to prevent it. Inside Out objects don't do data inheritance (except if you define your subclass in the same lexical scope as your superclass - but you probably have good reasons to do so).
Furthermore, Inside Out objects don't require their superclass, or subclasses, to cooperate. With the Inside Out technique, you can subclass anything, including a closure, without interfering. Even if the superclass changes its implementation, you're safe. The closure based strategy only works if the entire inheritance tree uses the same closure.
Inside Objects are about maximizing freedom - it does not impose, and it does not require. ;-)

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).
