Because the object ID is stored in the object's scalar ref (i.e., $$self), overloading ${} deferencing is not allowed. I document this fact in the POD.
However, all other forms of object deferencing through overloading are supported: Stringify, numerify, boolify, arrayify, hashify, globify and codify. Object::InsideOut simplifies defining these operations through the use of subroutine attributes. For example, your code would become:
use Test::More 'no_plan';
package Foo::Bar; {
use Object::InsideOut;
sub numify :Numerify { 42 }
}
package main;
my $obj = Foo::Bar->new();
is(0 + $obj, 42);
Remember: There's always one more bug.

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).
