subclassing Glib::Boxed



If I was crazy enough to want to subclass one of the Glib::Boxed types,
eg. Gtk2::Gdk::Color, where would be a good place to hang some extra
instance data?  I see boxed is a scalar ref, and I guess adding to a
class using that is a general perl question, though maybe the
Glib::Boxed docs could point in the right direction.

The closest I got was thinking to hold stuff separately, looked up by
address, eg.

	my %data;
	sub mymethod {
	  my ($self) = @_;
	  my $key = $self+0;
	  $data{$key} = something;
	}
	sub DESTROY {
	  delete $data{$key};
	  ...
	}

which of course is inaccessible to any further subclasses, but in my
case that'd be ok.  Is there a better way?
