NAME

MooseX::GlobRef::Object - Store a Moose object in glob reference

SYNOPSIS

  package My::IO;

  use Moose;

  extends 'MooseX::GlobRef::Object';

  has 'file' => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1 );

  sub open {
    my $fh = shift;
    open $fh, $fh->file or confess "cannot open";
    return $fh;
  }

  sub getlines {
    my $fh = shift;
    return readline $fh;
  }

  my $io = My::IO->new( file => '/etc/passwd' );
  print "::::::::::::::\n";
  print $io->file, "\n";
  print "::::::::::::::\n";
  $io->open;
  print $io->getlines;

DESCRIPTION

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

The attributes can be accessed directly with following expression:

  my $hashref = \%{*$self};
  print $hashref->{key};

or shorter:

  print *$self->{key};

but the standard accessors should be used instead:

  print $self->key;

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