  • The first impression from the synopsis is that the syntax seems pretty comfortable.

    And from what I could tell by browsing the docs it does deal with my biggest problem with inside-out-objects: debuggability.

    With the dynamic typing in Perl, if I'm confused as to what I'm looking at it's essential to be able to dump the object data structure easily just to see what's what. I'm assuming (well, hoping) that's covered by the "Object Serialization" blurb.

    • It is covered. And provided that your class is relatively plain vanilla, the dump() method will do what you want:

      package Foo;
      use Object::InsideOut;
      my @x : Field :Acc('x') :Default('foo');
      my @y : Field :Acc('y') :Default('bar');
      my @z : Field :Acc('z') :Default('baz');

      package main;
      my $obj = Foo->new;

      use Data::Dumper;
      say Dumper $obj->dump;
