Re^2: Inside Out Classes and the internal Hashes

So, this just brings up another question.

There seems to be at least 3 major modules to do this. Object::InsideOut, Class::InsideOut and Class::Std. So which one do I use?

I need a "production ready" solution which is why I was rolling my own. In the absence of information on those modules, I wasn't sure if they were really robust or not. Are they all pure perl? Is one of these going to be a core module soon?

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but perhaps this will help. Class::Std is written by TheDamian, referenced by PBP, and it's the only one I've actually used. From what I hear, it has trouble with threading, but I haven't done any threading, so I haven't cared. Object::InsideOut seems to be the kitchen sink version, written after Class::Std, in an effort to address its drawbacks. It may be slow. Class::InsideOut is the small and simple version. I don't know anything about it.	[reply]

Three of my modules on CPAN use Object::InsideOut. When I get home this evening, I will run prove on the source code tests on jcwren's server and post the results as well as the actual tests themselves. This will at least provide a very rough idea for a benchmark Update: I got home late last night and went straight to bed. I will be doing the testing and posting of results this evening. shmem also asked me to test the Alter package as well. Update: And as promised, the results.

Good question. And, actually, I'd just figured everyone was using Moose these days.	[reply]
