The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Object::Hybrid
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: promote Perl primitives to hybrid objects
userid: METADOO (Alexandr Kononoff)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)

similar:
autobox
rationale:
In Perl objects and primitives are different things. Hybrid object
is a special case of Perl object that can be seen and treated as
both primitive and object at the same time. In general case, it is a
violation of object encapsulation to access object's underlying
bless()ed primitive directly (at least outside of class's methods),
but in special case of hybrid objects it is perfectly ok to do so -
no violation of encapsulation takes place.
The Object::Hybrid implements default hybrid class and exports
promote() function that bless()es Perl's primitives (hash, scalar,
array, or filehandle) into either default or user-specified (custom)
hybrid class to make them hybrid objects.
