Question about load_components()

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

Hey guys,

Can I say the following two snippets have the same effect?

#[1]
package Result::Item;
use Moose;
extends 'DBIx::Class::Core';
#[2]
package Result::Item;
use Moose;
extends 'DBIx::Class';
__PACKAGE__->load_components( "Core" );

Can I say the following two snippets have the same effect? You could, but you might be totally wrong. I would do what the DBIx::Class manual says and what the test suite reflects. Anything else could break in the next release and/or have subtle bugs that you won't find until it is too late. -stvn	[reply]

Hi stvn, If you mean I could say they are nearly the same, my question will be "Why we choose to use the second one?" The first one is obviously more efficient because it has fewer lines than the 2nd one. Am I right about this?	[reply]

You appear to have only read the first two words of his reply. He proceeded to give four reasons.	[reply]

They might currently be equivalent... Why?	[reply]
