Thanks a lot for all replies - we'll probably go with Moose now.

I have one more question:

In a previous project I've used Class::Std and I quite like the strong encapsulation for object-attributes it provides.

I just did some (very basic) playing around with Moose and wonder if there is any way to encapsulate object-attributes as well or if with Moose no access-control is possible.

For example I was very surprised that you could do the following:

<code> 

use strict;

package Hubba;
use Moose;

has 'hubba' => ( is => "rw", isa => 'Int' );

package main;
no Moose;

my $h = Hubba->new;

$h->{hubba} = "Bubba";

print $h->hubba
</code>

This actually prints "Bubba". In this example I declare a "hubba"-attribute of a "Hubba"-class to be of type Int, but still it is possible to subvert the type-system by accessing the attribute directly (or am I doing something wrong?)

I don't think all of this will be a major concern for us, but still I would prefer stronger encapsulation - is that possible with Moose (or can you mix Moose and Class::Std)?

Many thanks!
