[ActiveState] Stringify/bool/funcall overloading
Python::Object instances automatically stringify as if Python::str() was applied to them. They can also be used naturally in boolean context, or invoked directly if they wrap something callable. 
$o =~ /.../;
print "This is $o\n";

if ($o) {
    ....
}

$o->(@args);
