Hi wise fellow monks.

In one of my projects, I implemented a subclass of HTTP::Requests to add extra attributes and methods to it. Basically as this: 

package My::HTTPRequest ;
use base qw/HTTP::Request/ ;

sub new{
   my ($class) = shift ;
   my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_) ;
   $self->{'myA'} = undef ;
   return bless $self, $class ;
}

sub myM{
  my ($self) = @_ ;
  ...
}

...

1;

Everything is fine appart this problem: I got another module that produce standard HTTP::Requests objects and I want to turn those into my My::HTTPRequests. Basically, what I want to have is this: 


my $httpr = AnotherModule::f() ;
# $httpr is a plain HTTP::Request object

my $ownHttpr = transform($httpr) ;
# $ownHttpr should be an instance of My::HTTPRequest with all the prop
+erties of $httpr .

According to you, what is the best way to implement the function transform ?
