Well, I guess that depends on how the inherited `meta` behaves. If you want to be sure to have all that overhead, you could use `for my $error_type (qw( Unrecoverable Unrecoverable::BrainDamage )) { eval(" package MonkeyMan::Error::$error_type; use Moose; extends 'MonkeyMan::Error'; 1 ") or die $@; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As documented in Moose, you don't actually inherit the `meta` method from Moose::Object. Each Moose class gets its own individual `meta` method built for it, completely overriding any that would have been inherited. They're all much of a muchness though: `sub meta { $metaclass->initialize(blessed($_[0]) \|\| $_[0]); }` [download] The `$metaclass` variable which has been closed over is usually the string `"Moose::Meta::Class"`, though it may be a different class name if you're doing interesting metaprogramming stuff. toby döt ink	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As documented in Moose, you don't actually inherit the `meta` method from Moose::Object. I never said it was inherited from Moose::Object. The code in question inherits the method from MonkeyMan::Error.	[reply] [d/l]
