Another common concern raised is about speed.

There is overhead associated with DESTROY that doesn't exist (in quite the same way) for hash-based objects where garbage collection is left to Perl rather than done by hand. If lots of objects are being generated and destroyed, this may be an issue for some individuals.

Also, depending on the implementation, inside-out accessors can be much slower than hash-based accessors, but the difference can be very small if the inside-out class caches the refaddr, as this node demonstrates. (The array-based implementation of Object::InsideOut is faster yet, I believe, but that isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.)

As a side note, the tendency of inside-out classes to be implemented with attributes for syntactic sugar is another potential downside. (Incompatibility with other Attribute::Handlers modules, for example.) But that relates to implementation choices, not the inside-out paradigm itself.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
