Moose for "web 1.0" types

ribasushi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings monks,

Here is a (possibly frequently asked) question about this Moose thingy: Did someone ever write a "before moose/after moose" cheat-sheet-type list?

Background - I am very well versed in all the old-school perl OO techniques (including the horrific inside-out objects), I understand multiple inheritance and what MRO is and how e.g. C3 works. What puts me off in the Moose tutorials is all the CS-y terminology (role, trait, decoration, etc etc etc). Thus I am looking for some sort of map that can tie my existing knowledge with the "new way of doing things".

Cheers

For an intro check out Moose Unsweetened. It compares the Moose and Pre-Moose way of doing basic Perl OO. It doesn't cover roles etc, but the Manual and Cookbooks are pretty thorough	[reply]

In my opinion, the best way to go for a comprehensive yet friendly discussion of how to do things the Moose way is Dave Rolsky's Moose::Manual. Blog	[reply]

Role and traits are the same thing. Roles weren't introduced by Moose. Outside of Moose, you might have used Class::Role or Class::Trait. Roles, Mixins and (Java) Interfaces are alternatives to unrestricted multiple inheritance.	[reply]

Role and traits are the same thing. For some definition of "traits" that is. To clarify, Traits were the original idea developed by the Smalltalk people and which I implemented in Class::Trait. In Moose however we use trait differently, it has come to mean "role applied to an instance" and sometime specifically to a meta-level instance. Roles weren't introduced by Moose Exactly they were one of the many features we borrowed from Perl 6 :) -stvn	[reply]

I would agree with astroboy about Moose::Manual::Unsweetened it is great intro to help bridge the old-school to new-school gap. As for the CS-ey terminology you might try reading Moose::Manual::Concepts to help understand some of those things. You might also find some of the comments in this thread useful as well. -stvn	[reply]
