I'm not sure there's any information on building such a thing - but actually doing so wouldn't be too hard.

This is just a quickie I knocked up to test the idea. You could probably make it all objecty, and moosey if you preferred:

package Object::Holder;

use strict;
use warnings;

=head1 NAME

Object::Holder - A module for working with parameters.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=for example begin

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    use Object::Holder
    use strict;

    my $helper = Object::Holder->new( foo => "bar",
                                    bar => "baz" );

    my @keys = $helper->param();

    my $bar = $helper->param( "bar" );


=for example end

=cut


sub new
{
    my ( $proto, %supplied ) = (@_);
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;

    my $self = {};
    $self->{ "data" } = {};

    #
    #  Store the supplied key=>val pairs in our data section.
    #
    foreach my $key ( keys %supplied )
    {
        $self->{ "data" }->{ lc $key } = $supplied{ $key };
    }

    bless( $self, $class );
    return $self;

}

sub param
{

    my ( $self, $param ) = (@_);

    if ($param)
    {
        # return the value of the named param.
        return ( $self->{ "data" }->{ $param } );
    }
    else
    {
        # return all the param names.
        return ( keys %{ $self->{ "data" } } );
    }
}

1;


package main;


my $o = Object::Holder->new( foo => "foo", steve => "kemp " );

#
#  Get all
#
my @params = $o->param();
foreach my $param (@params)
{

    #
    #  Get single
    #
    print "READ: $param -> " . $o->param($param) . "\n";
