Long ago in the pre Moose days I converted a great deal of data into a collection of hash tables with simple-minded code like (large hunks redacted/removed for brevity) the following: 
package Chess::PGN::Moves;

use 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings;

require Exporter;

our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(
    %King_Moves
);
our $VERSION = '0.05';

use vars qw(
    %King_Moves
);

%King_Moves = (
a1 => [qw(a2 b2 b1)],
b1 => [qw(a2 b2 c2 a1 c1)],
c1 => [qw(b2 c2 d2 b1 d1)],
);

1;
__END__

My question now is what is the Moose equivalent of such a thing. That is how do I a take a collection of static information (all hash tables as it turns out) and bring them into the 21st century object-wise? It is clear that this is do-able in terms of a dynamic hash, but I don't understand the plumbing well enough to abstract from that to what I need for pre-declared material. I've seen references to http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/Moose-1.21/lib/Moose/Meta/Attribute/Native.pm which I find relatively clear, but again, it doesn't seem to speak to the notion of pre-declared information.
