I use inside-out objects for my database persistence module, because it also helps with synchronization.
I'm intrigued. Can you show us some code?
One more thing:
So instead of using the pointer address as the key to the instance data hash, I use the primary key from the database. This is a big win, because there may be many objects instantiated that correspond to the same row in the database.
in contrast with:
So be sure to add:
sub DESTROY {
delete $agedata{+shift};
}
.. and clear out all instance data hashes.
Surely that will pose a problem if you can have several objects pointing to the same hash item? What do you do about that, do you keep a reference count yourself?
And I've been pondering if weak references could be used, to do the cleanup automatically for you. I just don't see how...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
