use Moose;

use Your::Delegated::Class;

has ydc => is => 'ro', lazy_build => 1, handles => qr/.*/, isa => 'You
+r::Delegated::Class';
sub _build_ydc {

    As if I had a chance of having Moose installed sooner than after a year of writing change requests, chasing people several levels up and around to approve them, rewriting them, rerewriting them, getting them rejected by people that write Pearl and think Moose is the animal, resubmitting, ...
