  • Excellent, nice to see progress on this feature, it is one I have been very much looking forward too.

    Did you give Sartak's MooseX::Roles::Parameterized [cpan.org] a look? It of course does not have the nice syntax, but it is very nice.

    • I ported these examples [perl.org] to MooseX-Role-Parameterized. :)

      • Nice! I didn't notice this module before now, but it appears to capture the concept, just - as you say - without the more compact syntax Perl 6 offers.

        It's certainly nice that these abstractions are available for Perl 5 programmers, not least because Perl 5 is useful for doing Real Work now and Perl 6 ain't quite there yet, but also because anyone using them who might look at Perl 6 in the future will have one less thing to learn. :-)

        Thanks!
