From the little I know of what xdg is doing, I wonder if it could ever be compatible with mod_perl?
There's only a few things that I've heard of that cause problems for mod_perl.
Many inside-out object toolkits use attributes and the CHECK phase to set up various things and that doesn't work under mod_perl
Without hooks for Storable, inside-out objects can't be serialized*
Perl threads clone the interpreter; mod_perl uses a persistant interpreter. I'd imagine the combination would be ugly, regardless of whether inside-out objects are involved or not
What I'm working on will address the first two problems. Object::InsideOut does this already today. The last is a tangential issue, though I'm also providing support for inside-out objects and threads, regardless of mod_perl issues.
*Expecting to serialize an object by violating encapsulation and treating it like a data structure isn't a very good practice to start with as it's inconsistent usage of imperative and object-oriented styles of programming: freeze( $object ) instead of $object->freeze. Thankfully, Storable does the right thing if hooks are provided.
