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

Hello Monks,
how can I call static methods in Moose, without create an istance of my class?

I would like to call (like in Java):

Class->staticMethod;

but I can't without create first:
my $o=Class->new;
$o->staticMethod;

Any suggestions?

    Probably just write a method (sub). The attributes, has generated methods, are just for objects/instances. Moose is still just plain Perl so-

    package Cow;
use Moose;
sub static {
    "Moo";
}

package main;
print Cow->static, $/;

    There is nothing special with  new()
