You raise good points. I haven't thought so hard about the issue as you. I have an interest as I am looking to abandon my usage of hash based objects. I approached sh1tn's post from a don't reinvent the wheel stance.

Not copying the parameter hash seems to leave the state of our new object open to the whims of another reference. Our capsule is dissolved before it is created.

I have used hash based objects a lot, in my situations the trampling and encapsulation issues have not been a problem. But constraining the keys of the hash is something I quickly found useful. TheDamian's code lets strict give that to us by replacing strings with lexicals (I like that). I would appreciate your solution for HOHObjects or your other thoughts on this aspect of the matter.

Class::Std's prime purpose is to constrain clients to the interface. That makes me wonder for what purpose you would use something other than a scalar as an object here; to me it seems to expose implementation to save only one indirection.

Be well,
rir
