    I use it so it must be popular!

    URI , Path::Class (update: should mention Path::Tiny too as it’s starting to replace the Path::Class stuff for me), a bunch of Mojo stuff come to mind… a good handful of others in my tree. :P

    ack use\ overload /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2/ | ack '""' | +wc -l 74

      Well ... you certainly think you are funny ... ¹

      Do you know if this approach involves changing the nature² of the scalar after its first use, to speed up things afterwards?

      ¹) you are! ;-)

      ²) i.e. unblessing

        I don’t know but I’d be very surprised if it did. This is not my forté, more my piano (see! I am funny), but this seems to support the notion; both dumps being the same–

        use 5.012; use Devel::Peek; package Bingo { use Moo; use overload '""' => sub { +shift->ohai }; has ohai => is => "rw"; }; my $bingo = Bingo->new( ohai => "DER" ); Dump $bingo; say "\n$bingo\n"; Dump $bingo;
