Re: Extending Moose with Inline C?

So you have your:

package A;

sub new {
  my $hashref = {};
  # do stuff to $hashref with Inline::C
  bless $hashref, 'Something';
}

You can just:

package Something:
# has '...' => (...);
# for each of the keys you may have on package A that you want to be
accessible from the Moose object
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable();

and just change one line on your code:
-   bless $hashref, 'Something';
+  Something->new(%$hashref);

Definitely something easy to hack for you to check the following:
