Object-InsideOut version 0.06.00 ================================ This module provides comprehensive support for implementing classes using the inside-out object model. This module implements inside-out objects as anonymous scalar references that have been blessed into a class with the scalar containing the ID for the object (usually its 'refaddr'). Object data (i.e., fields) are stored in hashes within the class's package and are keyed to the object's ID. This module offers all the capabilities of Class::Std with the following additional key advantages: = Speed As fast as 'blessed hash' objects for fetching and setting data, and 2.5-4.5 times faster than Class::Std. = Threads Class::Std is not thread safe. Object::InsideOUt is thread safe, and thoroughly supports sharing objects between threads using 'threads::shared'. = Flexibility Allows control over object ID specification, accessor naming, parameter name matching, and more. = Usable with mod_perl INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install or if you have Module::Build installed: perl Build.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install DEPENDENCIES Requires Perl 5.6.0 or later.
