Outline for a Moose Intro

gistfile1.txt

The hard way
* manual constructors and accessors

The declarative way
* Perhaps compare some of the older accessor-generators.

The Moose way
* declarative = good.

Attributes.
* lazy building
* weak refs

Type constraints.
* Basic Type Hierarchy
* enum
* Custom (e.g. "EvenInt")

Type coercions.

Sub-classing
* attribute extension

Method wrappers
* before, around, after
* augment and inner (subclassing only)
* override & super w/i override

Roles
* it's like multiple inheritance, but more powerful
* requires
* wrappers don't conflict; exec in the order of role application
* run-time application

Further Reading
* Class::MOP - the system that Moose is built on, modeled after Perl 6's meta-object system.
* Moose books

^ Optional:

MooseX::Declare ?

The stuff that started out as MooseX::AttributeHandlers
