Thanks Your Mother. The more I'm reading, I'm liking Moo as well. Looks very compatible and a very well taken care of dist. I do however like the XS of Mouse::XS for my almost-only-C/XS modules, but I'll have to do some code reviews (and possibly benchmarking/profiling) to see whether the speed benefits of XS will outweigh me keeping everything standardized on a single choice.

To further, I'm still extremely happy with doing things the old way, so I'm looking for very basic functionality (like creating getters/setters) at this time, without the expansive capabilities I'm seeing with Moose. Not to say I won't start desiring such functionality moving forward, but I still like to stay as core perl in my code where possible, even if it's just so I understand in three years what I was thinking, without having to read external docs to understand bits and pieces.

update: yeah, Moo seems to be acceptable at load-up times, which for most of my purposes, that's acceptable even if it does cost a few clock ticks. Not only that, the docs are clear (the SYNOPSIS is copy/pastable), and it takes minutes to rewrite existing code to use it. I am already liking the isa feature... write a single sub definition instead of doing the whole defined ? ... : ...; kind of cruft myself. It was already installed on most of my *brew installations due to other dists I've installed, so it's likely to be already installed on the systems I'm targeting my dists at anyhow. /update
