Hello Monks,

Somehow, I found this comments page on Chromatic's modernperlbooks website: http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2010/12/perl-books-i-want.html

I would love to buy second book in the list, "Modern Perl OO with Moose" (or Moo)

Does anyone know if there is any book like this? If not then is there any way to motivate Chromatic or other esteemed Monks to think about writing it?

Modern Perl book by Chromatic really enlightened me.

    Several years ago, tobyink started such a book. But its fate is unknown to me.

      Life happened; I had to stop work on it; the grant expired.

      I am still pretty interested in writing such a book. The idea is not so much to concentrate on a framework like Moose, but instead to teach object-oriented programming principles from the ground up, with all examples in Perl, using Moose/Moo where appropriate. (For simpler stuff, Class::Tiny and Role::Tiny too.) Given how far Perl 6 has progressed, it might also be fun to work on a parallel version of the book in Perl 6.

      The GitHub project for the book is here. (It uses Pod::PseudoPod rather than normal Pod, so Github's pod rendering can't fully handle it.)

        do you know Damian's book on that topic?

        I really liked the intro and overview, though things like roles are not covered. (I think)

    Maybe go thru the tutorials like Moose::Manual and ask one complicated question each week?

    I'd love to participate. :)
