But if you could pass arguments, you'd break the sub create {my $self = shift;... paradigm
Yes, you have a point. I'm starting to see that Moose corrals you into keeping things in attributes instead of passing values around. 
for my $item (@item) {
  $self->i(++$i);
  inner();
}

Ah nice. But there is a problem. There is not always an inner class... The superclass can be instatiated and run just fine if you dont plan to use perl/gtk to give GUI feedback on data processing. The inner call should only be called if ref $self ne __PACKAGE__

Alternatively, I could always never run the superclass directly and have ::Gtk2 subclass as well as a ::PlainText subclass.



The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development.
