OK: my sick mind has come up with something and I'm trying to figure out how to do it:

Let's say I have three modules defined as: 


package Top;
use Moose;

1;

package SubordinateA;
use Moose;
extends 'Top';

1;

package SubordinateB;
use Moose;
extends 'Top';

1;

[download]
and somewhere in some main package I have: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use strict;
use Top.

my $obj = Top->new();

| etc.

[download]
is there a way from within either Top or one of the subordinate modules to change $obj to be reblessed as either SubordinateA or SubordinateB?

What I'm trying to accomplish is during Top's execution in some sub based on some conditionals instantiate either of the subordinate modules (six actually) and pass that blessed object back to the calling environment.

Does my question make sense?
