Hello readers,

Is there an easier way to unbless an object than this?
package Liftable;
use Class:ISA;
sub new { bless $_[1], $_[0] }

sub lift {
    my $self = shift;
    my $old_class = ( grep {
        $_ !~ /__PACKAGE__/
    } ( Class::ISA::super_path( ref($self) ) ) )[0];
    bless $self, $old_class;
}

I want to temporarily make an object a member of a second (third, fourth) class, overriding some methods, but retaining all attributes when the object reverts. I'm worried that the solution above might have unwanted side-effects.
