I don't know any module that uses this, but I've seen globs as objects before (IIRC, some Net:: modules use globs too, but then to be able to use them as handles). I've done some proof of concept coding using globs as references to be able to do multi-inheritance where one class uses an arrayref, and another class uses a hashref. But that wasn't at all pretty.

And of course, one could always use pseudo-hashes.... ;-)
