NAME

    Class::Tie::InsideOut - Inside-out objects on the cheap using tied

    hashes

REQUIREMENTS

    Perl 5.6.1, and Scalar::Util.

INSTALLATION

    Installation can be done using the traditional Makefile.PL method:

    Using Makefile.PL:

      perl Makefile.PL

      make test

      make install

SYNOPSIS

      package MyClass;

      use Class::Tie::InsideOut;

      our @ISA = qw( Class::Tie::InsideOut );

      our %GoodKey;

      sub bad_method {

        my $self = shift;

        return $self->{BadKey}; # this won't work

      }

      sub good_method {

        my $self = shift;

        return $self->{GoodKey}; # %GoodKey is defined

      }

DESCRIPTION

    This module is a proof-of-concept for implementing inside-out objects

    using tied hashes. It makes use of the Tie::InsideOut package to tie

    hash keys to hashes in the calling package's namespace.

    Fields are accessed as hash keys, so in traditional Perl objects can be

    easily converted into inside-out objects.

    More information can be found in the module documentation.
