I only heard of traits in the context of p6l. downloaded the "traits paper" but didn't put the time into getting head round it. It looks vaguely like Java Interfaces but cleverer.

In Perl6 where it will be built in to the language and probably form part of standard idioms it seems well worth learning, for Perl5 it isn't yet on the top of my list of stuff to learn and it isn't worth the hassle of really grokking what they do and if there's an implementation (which I gather there is) yet.
