It's not the db_accessor method call that is dying, but the methodA accessor.
What you need to do is subclass My::DEF...
package My::DEF::JohnMacLane; # because it doesn't die
use Moose;
extends 'My::DEF';
my @make_immortal = qw( methodA methodB );
foreach my $meth (@make_immortal)
{
around $meth => sub {
my ($orig, $self, @args) = @_;
return eval { $self->$orig(@args) };
};
}
1;
The other possibility is to write a Shield class that sits in between My::ABC and My::DEF. I'm in a rush now, but I may update this post later with an example...
perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'
