in thread RFR: Inside-out classes - a Class::InsideOut primer

The real answer: Class::InsideOut expects/requires that the unique key for each object be its memory address (to ensure safety for threading and pseudoforks), so it provides the alias id() to Scalar::Util::refaddr.

I don't have a win32 perl available to test this right now, but doesn't a fork() in win32 perl change the refaddr? If so, does anyone know if Class::InsideOut handles that correctly?

does anyone know if Class::InsideOut handles that correctly Yes. See Threads and fork and CLONE, oh my!. It's specifically what Class::InsideOut was designed to get right for inside-out objects and what Class::Std still gets wrong. Object::InsideOut gets it right, too, and adds features for cross-thread sharing. But the API and features of O::IO are a bit daunting. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain. It is provided as is with no warranties, express or implied, of any kind.
