The way that you setup your question seemed to me to be a perfect fit for Method::Specialize and Moose, so I experimented with this. I'll leave it up to you to develop your readsource method:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Method::Specialize; use Moose::Util; my $cached = 0; my $gen = 0; { package RoleA; use Moose::Role; sub sourceA { print "Testing sourceA\n";} sub readsource { print "RoleA contains sourceA\n";} package RoleB; use Moose::Role; sub sourceB { } package RoleC; use Moose::Role; sub sourceC { } package Class; use Moose; with qw(RoleA); ::specializing_method source => sub { my $class = shift; my $meta = Class::MOP::Class->initialize($class); my %roles = map { $_->name = undef } map { Class::MOP::Class->initialize($_)->calculate_all_rol +es } $meta->linearized_isa; ++$gen; return sub { my ( $class, $role ) = @_; ++$cached; exists $roles{$role}; } }; package Method; use Moose; extends qw(Class); } Method->readsource;
