For those it may concern -- I have this now: 
package Table;
use Moose::Role;
use Moose::Exporter;
use DBI;

Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods(
    with_caller => ['parse_table'],
    also        => 'Moose',
);

sub parse_table {
    my $table = shift;
    my $dbh   = DBI->connect( ... );
    my $sth   = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( "describe $table" );

    # loop thru $sth and add Moose attributes
}

[download]
And I can create a class that consumes it: 
package MyTable;
use Moose;
with 'Table';

parse_table( 'my_table' );

[download]
This compiles. Now it seems all I need to do is what that comment says "loop thru $sth and add Moose attributes" ... but how does one add Moose attributes inside such a role?

Thanks again, you folks help make things like this turn into reusable CPAN modules. :)
