in thread Passing arguments to WWW::Mechanize::Firefox constructor with Moose

OK, wow, thanks for the links and sample code. I will definitely study these closely.

While I have you ear right now, what if I want to override a method in the parent class (WWW::Firefox::Mechanize)? Is delegating, as shown in your first link, still the best option? Here's some code pseudocode to try to convey what I mean:

use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;

has 'bot' => (
  is => 'ro',
  isa => 'WWW::Mechanize::Firefox',
);

sub get {
  my ($self, $url) = @_;
  $self->bot->get($url, synchronize => 1);
}

    "OK, wow, thanks for the links and sample code."

    You're welcome.

    "I will definitely study these closely."

    I encourage you to spend a little more time, improving your foundation Moose skills and knowledge, before delving into MooseX-land. I suggest you read the Moose manpage: it's not overly long and has many links to cookbook examples, more detailed information, and so on: follow as requirement, or curiosity, take you.

    "I'm a newb with Moose."

    See Moose manpage: New to Moose?.

    "if I want to override a method in the parent class ..."

    See Moose manpage: override ($name, &sub).

      I always a struggle to determine when I've learned enough to try to cut my teeth on writing real code. I wish I were the type that could just read through documentation and grok it immediately but often my eyes just glaze over as I try to figure out whether what I'm reading can be applied to the specific task I want to accomplish.

      So your timely advice gives me practical guidance I can chew on while I search for a good solution. I appreciate it.
