It seems as thought Alter::ego could be implemented in an inside-out class itself. 

package Alter;

use Class::Std;

my %ref_of :ATTR;

sub ego {
    my $self = shift;
    if ( @_ ) {
        $ref_of{ident $self} = shift;
    }
    return $ref_of{ident $self};
}

I looked for a test suite in your .tar.gz to show me the error of my ways, but it seems all it does is use_ok.

Implementing in terms of Class::Std reopens the thread cloning problem, but I think Object::InsideOut takes care of that. Since I haven't had to deal with threading problems, I haven't used it myself. Is a pure Perl implementation not possible? Have I missed some important feature of the module?
