Nice post, I appreciate that you took the time to document this (and discuss details with us on #moose too) ++ you for all that :)

The only one comment I have is that the "Programming with Moose" book is not really recommended anymore. While it has some good parts to it, it also has some horribly wrong misunderstandings of Moose and the author has not been terrible cooperative in fixing them (and seems to have largely abandoned the effort too). The Cookbooks (recently re-organized and updated by Dave Rolsky) are really the better place to go, followed by merlyns articles and the talk slides found on http://moose.perl.org.
