The MOP is useful when you need to perform lots of class introspection. It's therefore a requirement for a lot of class-building extensions - i.e. most of the MooseX namespace, such as MooseX::Clone, MooseX::Privacy, MooseX::MultiMethods, etc. That is; you probably want to use Moose if there's some MooseX module that catches your eye, or you need to delve into `$class->meta`; and use Moo otherwise. `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name"`	[reply] [d/l]
