I'm using Moose so I'm not using the new constructor method.

Also, it may help you to understand the bigger picture of what I'm doing:

I've got a webserver. I am sitting at my local machine. I am writing modules on my local machine to help me automate operations on the webserver (download website database files, upgrade sites, backup sites, etc.). What I have so far is a Moose module with some helper roles that help determine Apache's DocumentRoot for a website based on a website's domain name. I create Website objects based on the DocumentRoot. The generic Website object knows nothing about what kind of site it's dealing with. It just populates the Website object's attributes with stuff by parsing the Apache config file for the website. From there, I have the Website object determine what kind of website it is by inspecting files in the DocumentRoot. My thinking is that I want to transform the Website object into something more specific based on what kind of site it is so it can run specialized methods on it.
