  You might also want to take a look at Moose::Autobox. It has a different goal from autobox::Core, which is to be more like the proposed core types and methods for Perl 6 (mostly found in Syn 29). And as far as your ruby-friend is concerned, you might want to show him Moose itself, he might not miss ruby as much.

  It seems like this would be less difficult if he didn't use Class::Std. A normal hash-based object makes it look simpler to me anyway:
  
push @{ $self->{'files'} }, @more_files;

    Throwing in an extra arrow makes it look simpler? Strange definition of simpler. :-)

    I like to preface my inside-out object methods with “my $this = ident my $self = shift;”, btw, which makes that code into this:

    push @{ $test_files{ $this } } , @failure_files;

    Of course Hash::Util::FieldHash [cpan.org]’s idhash function will make that separate $this unnecessary in 5.10 and you’ll be able to just write this:

    push @{ $test_files{ $self } } , @failure_files;

    The real problem persists thro

      To each their own, I guess. The @{} doesn't bother me at all, but the way instance variables are referenced in Class::Std does.
