in thread on the fly methods

I had never heard of Moose before this, but I think it's potentially something I could one day use in all my new OO code. Wow, just wow.

    I think Moose is a port of Perl 6's OO system back to Perl 5.

      AIUI that's how it started, but to quote from Moose's docs themselves:

      Is Moose just Perl 6 in Perl 5?

      No. While Moose is very much inspired by Perl 6, it is not itself Perl 6. Instead, it is an OO system for Perl 5. I built Moose because I was tired or writing the same old boring Perl 5 OO code, and drooling over Perl 6 OO. So instead of switching to Ruby, I wrote Moose :)

      However audreyt mentions it in her Deploying Perl 6 talk and specifically writes:

      What is Moose?
      • Complete object model for Perl 5
      • Based on the Perl 6 object model
      • Production Ready
