As others have pointed out, objects can also be created by blessing
other references.

In the context of the original question, it's also worth remembering
that an object is not the same as a hash as far as TT is concerned. It
unifies the syntax to call accessors and to access the members of a
hash. But it does *not* let you access arbitrary elements in a blessed
hash as Perl does. In TT, you can only use the methods.

Which is generally a Good Thing, but occasionally can be surprising.
