This is a role for Moose::Object which is applied by MooseX::GlobRef. It allows to store Moose object in glob reference of file handle.

The MooseX::GlobRef package should be used instead for Moose classes but the MooseX::GlobRef::Role::Object can be helpful if you want to extend non-Moose classes like IO::File or File::Temp.

<<around>> dump( maxdepth : Int = 1 ) : Array|Str

Dumps the object itself and also a hash slot of glob reference of this object. It returns an array or string depended on context.

See Moose::Object.
