I've been pondering this question for days whilst following along on this thread, and other recent Moose threads.

Let me say up front that I think Moose is incredibly clever, complete and well supported and maintained code. But here's the question that I've been asking myself for most of the last 3 years, and for which I yet to find a satisfactory answer to when I've looked arounnd.

What, besides declarative syntax and auto-generated accessors--which are both available at far less cost from other modules--does Moose buy the application programmer, that makes it worth the not inconsiderable costs?

For (my) best interest, I'm not looking for a straight list of features--which I have found around. I'm more looking for examples of how people have used those features, to implement something that they would have had to implement anyway, had they used some other OO framework. But which Moose made significantly simpler to implement and/or significantly more effective.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
