Maybe I'm just being thick, but if you leave out the event driven parts of
the spec, what's left that isn't just an ordinary Perl class?  You can
easily make classes to hold data using Class::Struct or
Class::MethodMaker.

Is it just that you want a safer way to do introspection than looking at
the data structure the class is made from?  Maybe you want the
Class::Fields module from CPAN.
