in reply to Sorting by dependencies

It's not a problem that is always solvable. Consider: @jobs = qw(A B) with rules "A after B" and "B after A".

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

    I think that's what Rolf was talking about when he spoke about circular dependencies.

    You need to end up with (what we called in my IT studies, my translation into English might be faulty) a cycle-less oriented graph.

      In English and graph theory, they usually say "acyclic".

        In this case, the jargon "DAG" (directed acyclic graph) would be appropriate.

        package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name
        Thank you for the correction.
