Incidentally, there is a Moose instance metaclass for making Moose work
with glob-based objects (instead of the usual hash-based ones).

  http://search.cpan.org/~dexter/MooseX-GlobRef-Object-0.0202/lib/MooseX/GlobRef/Object.pm

Also incidentally, the example they use is a glob that remembers its
filename :)  Cut-n-paste and your problems are solved.
