Below's an example of subclassing T:MO to achieve this...

My question, I guess: is there a better way to achieve this w/o all the multiple subclassing? (Would have to do this for each Mock Class, for if just overloaded '""' in Test:MockObject itself, all the mocked classes would stringify the same way, which isn't what I need. 

use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use Test::MockObject;
use Test::More tests => 2;

my $id = -1;

package MockFoo;
use base qw(Test::MockObject);
use overload '""' => sub {return $id};

package main;
my $c = MockFoo->new;

$c->set_isa('Foo');
$c->set_bound('id', \$id);


is($c->id, -1, 'accessor');
is('' . $c, -1, 'stringify');
