  I have a little module that does exactly that for a little while now and didn't think anyone else was that crazy :)
  
  I played the game even a bit more in the last weeks:
  
      sub foo :Method( Int $foo, Object $bar! ) {
              self->baz();
              print class, ': ', args->foo;
      }
  
  Called via:
  
      $object->foo( foo => 23, bar => $bar_obj );
  
  "args" returns just a container object, that uses autoload t

    "args" returns just a container object, that uses autoload to simulate accessors. That's just to capture typos. It's mostly following the Perl 6 signature idea (at least the current one).

    Hmmm, it may pair nicely with Moose [cpan.org]: although the latter claims not to be a Perl 6 implementation in Perl 5, it is admittedly heavily inspired by Perl 6 itself, and to some extent imports Perl 6 semantics, with special emphasis on OO features, in Perl 5. Also, it seems that unlike e.g. v6 [cpan.org], it is much less experimental and much more production ready. Whatever, I seem to understand that there are potentially several projects you may want to attach or contribute to.
