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

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?

(Maybe I'm confusing this now with quantum superposition magic ...)

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;
