Re: Informal Poll: why aren't you using traits?

I hope I am not alone, but my vote is the I've never heard of traits. I checked ot the link but I must say it reads like stereo instructions. Is there a 'Traits for Dummies' link that might explain it better?

No, there's no such link yet (that I'm aware of). You could read about Class Composition with Roles (near the bottom of the page) and the follow up at Perl 6 roles, but I fear those won't be much clearer. Perl 6 roles are pretty much the same thing as traits, though they allow state and runtime role assignment. Right now, I'm just trying to guage programmer knowledge and opinions about traits to see if there's anything to follow up with. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]

Re traits for dummies, see my response further down. There's a shorter friendlier paper written by the same guys, that's what you should be reading. (Just 15 pages) I believe this is referred to in the perl6 docu as well. This stereo instructions aspect intimidated me too at first, but the shorter intro is great and really enlightening.	[reply]
