Re: Moose for "web 1.0" types

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.

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]
