Angharad has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I've been trying to teach myself Moose today and am following a tutorial.
However, I've come across this error and can't find any explanation as to what it means:
Mouse does not export its sugar to the 'main' package. Can't locate object method "new" via package "Mouse" at test.pl line 2 +2.
Heres the relevant code. Any pointers in the right direction appreciated!!!
package Animal; use Moose::Role; has 'name' => (is => 'rw'); has 'color' => (is => 'rw', default => sub { shift->default_colour }); requires 'default_colour'; sub speak { my $self = shift; print $self->name, " goes ", $self->sound, "\n"; } # sub sound { confess shift, " should have defined sound!"; } requires 'sound'; no Moose::Role; 1;
package Mouse; use Moose; with 'Animal'; sub default_colour { 'white'; } sub sound { 'squeak'; } after 'speak' => sub { print "[but you can barely hear it!]\n"; }; no Moose; 1;
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; use Moose; use Animal; use Horse; use Sheep; use Mouse; my $talking = Horse->new(name => 'Mr. Ed'); $talking->speak; # says "Mr. Ed goes neigh" my $baab = Sheep->new(colour => 'white', name => 'Baab'); $baab->speak; # prints "Baab goes baaaah" my $mickey = Mouse->new(name => 'Mickey'); $mickey->speak;
