  • I've tried to use Moose three times now for Real Work (albeit small scale work) and failed. Not because the state of the code, but because of the state of the docs.

    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 th
    • Alias,

      First, the cookbook [cpan.org] link has now been fixed, thanks for spotting that.

      Second, I freely admit that Moose might not be ergonimically correct for everyone. I based it heavily on Perl 6, but also added in my own twists and a few misc bits I have ripped off from other languages. But, this is Perl so TIMTOWTDI :)

      As for your complaint about the docs. Well, I can't argue with you there, the docs are not as comprehensive as they could be (although I think they might have gotten better since you last looked). The upcoming talk I am giving should address that missing area you speak of, and i will gladly post the slides once it is ready. In the meantime I would be happy to answer any and all questions you might have, either on the #moose channel, the mailing list, or you can always feel free to email me directly.
