in thread looking towards learning OOP

In my opinion, the "normal way" is always insufficient for anything of greater complexity than "hello, world".

Myth: Moose is an unnecessary dependency

Basically, you can not use Moose... but why? Why pass up on something that makes your application go together more quickly and probably results in more correct code?

    They would prefer to learn the fundamentals before using something that does it for them. The same reason why some would like to learn HTML before using Dreamweaver.

    However, there is a line; 'learn how to build a computer from scratch before using it' and so on.

    I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

    chomp; # nom nom nom

    If you think the normal way is always insufficient, I have to wonder what you're doing wrong. It certainly works well enough for me. And my colleagues. And the authors of most of the objectish modules I ever use.
