As an aside, you should always use object accessors instead of raw object elements unless you have a very good reason not to, especially with Moose objects, so that you take full advantage of any modifiers such as 'before', 'around' and 'after' as well as triggers that may be present. Direct access to the element bypasses all of those features which will probably result in undesired side-effects. 

# use this:
$obj->x . 'y';

# and not this:
$obj->{x} . 'y';

The answer to the question "Can we do this?" is always an emphatic "Yes!" Just give me enough time and money.
