Journées Perl 2012 — Matt S. Trout <br />» http://journeesperl.fr/2012/talk/4151 <br /><br />Moo - almost, but not quite, two thirds of Moose <br />================================================ <br /><br />Moose is one of my favourite things to happen to perl in the last five years, but the startup overhead and additional dependencies can be hard to justify for very small projects. <br /><br />So I asked myself ... "what's the smallest portion of Moose that I could get by with, that would be easy to build so that when I load Moose my classes can transparently upgrade themselves?". <br /><br />The result is Moo - which provides most of the basic syntax of Moose - and rather than trying to reinvent the MOP part, remembers enough to make you a Moose::Meta::Class if you decide you need one later. <br /><br />In this talk, I'll go over exactly which bits of Moose it provides, which bits it doesn't (this list is longer :), why, and how it's built from the ground up to be the right answer to "I want something smaller than Moose".
