Moose
There have been a couple of minor releases of Moose this month (2.1201 and 2.1202) but nothing especially exciting.
In other news…
- Buddy Burden has continued his Perl and Me series. Part 5, part 6, part 7, and part 8.
- byterock has also been writing a few interesting Moose-related blog posts, including Am I a Convert???, Diamonds are a Moose’s Best Friend, and Out of the Barn Yard.
- I published Horizontal Reuse: An Alternative to Inheritance which compares Moose roles favourably to other mechanisms for horizontal code reuse.
- Test::Class::Moose now supports running tests in parallel.
- Various modules have been updated to work with newer versions of Moose and avoid deprecation warnings, including MooseX::App, MooseX::AbstractFactory, MooseX::Traits::Pluggable, MooseX::Types::Set::Object, and MooseX::Attribute::ValidateWithException.
- I’ve released Sub::Trigger::Lock and blogged about it.
