I would not advocate this use for anything other than those applications that require the performance or memory gains or both.
Didn't think you were :-)
Blanket statements that all Perl OO modules should be hash-based completely ignores the possibilities of 3 or more other ways Perl's flexibility can be used to good affect to avoid having to drop into the nightmare of XS programming or the deep dependancies of Inline::C.
Agree completely.
The only issue I had was with "little extra effort and no loss of clarity" since I think array based objects end up involving quite a bit of extra work in many real world situations. The final working code can look quite clear - but getting there, and later maintenance, can be a complete bugger.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
