That's a problem with Inside-Out Objects

For Data::Dumper, yes, because its OO approach is broken. Not so for Storable. I was speaking generically.

You can't expect to clone an object by copying it's bytes or it's fields.

Ditto for changing its properties by directly accessing its hash, which is why this is a mess.
