The main Moose page is very light on content, and the next step seems to be the cookbook pages, where I only have a choice of a range of levels of complexity in the demos.
I've found it really hard to find answers to specific single questions.
How do I do simple inheritance?
How do I do a single validating property?
Now frankly, I don't care about the answers to those specific things, but it's annoying when I can make a simple two-property class ( ->hello and ->world ) but making it incrementally more complex is hard, because the next level of demo class implements 50% of all the features in the toolkit and confuses things, and the third demo is already up into advanced material.
I'd like to see a series of simple examples. Hello World + Inheritance, Hello World + Validation, Hello World + etc...
Also, the Module::Cookbook link doesn't work.
