If an object already is an inside-out object, you have no choice but to continue down that road.
That's not true.
package InsideOut; use strict; use warnings; use Hash::Util::FieldHash qw[fieldhash]; fieldhash my %name; sub new { my $class = shift; bless do {\my $var}, $class; } sub set_name { my ($self, $name) = @_; $name{$self} = $name; } sub get_name { my ($self) = @_; $name{$self}; } 1; __END__ package Traditional; use strict; use warnings; use InsideOut; our @ISA = qw[InsideOut]; sub new { my $class = shift; bless {}, $class; } sub set_colour { my ($self, $colour) = @_; $self->{colour} = $colour; } sub get_colour { my ($self) = @_; $self->{colour}; } 1; __END__ #!/usr/bin/perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use Traditional; my $obj = Traditional->new; $obj->set_name("NAME"); $obj->set_colour("COLOUR"); say "The name is ", $obj->get_name, " and its colour is ", $obj->get_c +olour; __END__ The name is NAME and its colour is COLOUR
As you can see, you can inherit from an inside out object, and use tradition hash based objects in the derived class.
