That's because the constructor doesn't set the attributes by passing them to $object->method($value), but instead does some magic in $object->meta-> ... What it seems like you really want is some sort of Type Coercion, so that when data of a given type is passed to the constructor, the type coercion unpacks it into a form suitable. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
