Traditional perl objects use simple hashes to store values.
There's a recent trend towards an inside-out construction,
where one uses unique ids on objects, and stores one named
value for all objects into an hash indexed by ids.
Class::InsideOut is a simple, safe and streamlined toolkit for
building inside-out objects. Unlike most other inside-out object
building modules already on CPAN, this module aims for
minimalism and robustness:
* Does not require derived classes to subclass it
* Uses no source filters, attributes or "CHECK" blocks
* Supports any underlying object type including black-box inheritance
* Does not leak memory on object destruction
* Overloading-safe
* Thread-safe for Perl 5.8 or better
* "mod_perl" compatible
* Makes no assumption about inheritance or initializer needs
