MooseX...sideOut(3pm)

💖 MooseX::InsideOut 💖

okay bestie, welcome to MooseX::InsideOut — inside-out objects with Moose, and honestly? it's giving ✨main character energy✨ for your attribute storage.

this one's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl world, so you know it's real ones only. iykyk 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.106 — yeah she's got a number, she's official 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

package My::Object;

use MooseX::InsideOut;

# ... normal Moose functionality
# or ...

package My::Subclass;

use MooseX::InsideOut;
extends 'Some::Other::Class';

see how chill that is?? you literally just use it and go about your day. no cap. 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so MooseX::InsideOut provides metaroles for inside-out objects. what does that mean in human words? it means it sets up your attribute slot storage somewhere other than inside $self. the attributes are not living in the object. they have their own apartment. independent. iconic. 🏠✨

and the why is the best part, fr fr: this means you can extend non-Moose classes — like, classes whose internals you either don't want to care about, or that just aren't hash-based at all. normally that's a whole situation. here? handled. 🫶

ngl this is the kind of thing that makes you feel like you've unlocked a secret level of Moose. you didn't cheat, you just... knew someone. 😌
