DESCRIPTION

This meta-policy allows to store Moose object in glob reference or file handle. The class attributes will be stored in anonymous hash associated with glob reference. It allows to create a Moose version of IO::Handle.

The elements of hash can be accessed with ${*$self}->{key} expression.

You can use MooseX::GlobRef::Meta::Instance metaclass directly if you need more customised configuration.
