(I make no apologies for the ChatGPT images in my recent blog posts, by the way. No artists are missing out on being paid: I wasn’t going to hire an artist to illustrate these blog posts which will be read by like three people.) A while back, I wrote MooseX::XSAccessor which you can add to … Continued
When I first introduced Marlin, it seemed the only OO framework which could beat its constructor in speed was the one generated by the new Perl core class keyword. Which seems fair, as that’s implemented in C and is tightly integrated with the Perl interpreter. However, I’m pleased to say that Marlin’s constructors are now … Continued
Consider the following fairly simple class, which creates a lookup object for month names…
Firstly, I’m not planning on breaking compatibility with Type::Params. The new API would live under a different namespace, such as Type::Params2. The API for Type::Params is currently: use feature ‘state’; use Type::Params qw( compile compile_named_oo ); use Types::Standard -types; sub…
Moose is great, but it does introduce a slight performance hit to your code. In the more than 15 years since it was first released, hardware improvements have made this less of a problem than it once was. Even…
Technically, I already announced it, but now I’ve renamed it. MooX::Pression is now called Zydeco. Moops had a memorable name, and I think the naming really helped it gain a following. MooX::Pression was just meh. So now it’s Zydeco. Zydeco…
The test suite for MooX::Pression used to run in 79 seconds on my laptop. Now it’s at 10 seconds. And no, I didn’t cut out any tests — I switched from using Keyword::Declare to a combination of Keyword::Simple and PPR….
Kind of like Moops but with less hacky parsing….
MooX::Press is a quick way of building a bunch of Moo roles and classes in one use statement. The most basic example would be: package MyApp { use MooX::Press class => [‘Foo’, ‘Bar’]; } my $thing1 = MyApp::Foo->new(); my…
Type::Tiny is probably best known as a way of having Moose-like type constraints in Moo, but it can be used for so much more. This is the seventh in a series of posts showing other things you can use…

Perl allows pretty much any value to be evaluated in a boolean context: if ($something) { … } No matter what $something is, it will safely evaluate to either true or false. (With the exceptions of a few edge cases…

It’s quite a common pattern in object-oriented programming to have an attribute which takes a string as its value, but which only has a small number of valid values. For example: package Shirt; use Moose; # “S”, “M”, “L”,…
