Mouse::Spec(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mouse::Spec(3)NAMEMouse::Spec - To what extent Mouse is compatible with Moose
VERSION
This document describes Mouse version 1.02
SYNOPSIS
use Mouse::Spec;
printf "Mouse/%s is compatible with Moose/%s\n",
Mouse::Spec->MouseVersion, Mouse::Spec->MooseVersion;
DESCRIPTION
Mouse is a subset of Moose. This document describes to what extend
Mouse is compatible (and incompatible) with Moose.
Compatibility with Moose
Sugary APIs
The sugary APIs are highly compatible with Moose. Methods which have
the same name as Moose's are expected to be compatible with Moose's.
Meta object protocols
Meta object protocols are a subset of the counterpart of Moose. Their
methods which have the same name as Moose's are expected to be
compatible with Moose's. Feel free to use these methods even if they
are not documented.
However, there are differences between Moose's MOP and Mouse's. For
example, meta object protocols in Mouse have no attributes by default,
so "$metaclass->meta->make_immutable()" will not work as you expect.
Don not make metaclasses immutable.
Mouse::Meta::Instance
Meta instance mechanism is not implemented, so you cannot change the
reftype of Mouse objects in the same way as Moose.
Role exclusion
Role exclusion, "exclude()", is not implemented.
-metaclass in Mouse::Exporter
"use Mouse -metaclass => ..." are not implemented. Use "use Mouse
-traits => ..." instead.
Mouse::Meta::Attribute::Native
Native traits are not supported directly, but "MouseX::NativeTraits" is
available on CPAN. Once you have installed it, you can use it as the
same way in Moose. That is, native traits are automatically loaded by
Mouse.
See MouseX::NativeTraits for details.
Notes about Moose::Cookbook
Many recipes in Moose::Cookbook fit Mouse, including:
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1 - The (always classic) Point
example
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe2 - A simple BankAccount example
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3 - A lazy BinaryTree example
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4 - Subtypes, and modeling a simple
Company class hierarchy
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5 - More subtypes, coercion in a
Request class
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6 - The augment/inner example
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe7 - Making Moose fast with immutable
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe8 - Builder methods and lazy_build
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9 - Operator overloading, subtypes,
and coercion
· Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10 - Using BUILDARGS and BUILD to
hook into object construction
· Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1 - The Moose::Role example
· Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe2 - Advanced Role Composition -
method exclusion and aliasing
· Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3 - Applying a role to an object
instance
· Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe2 - A meta-attribute, attributes with
labels
· Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe3 - Labels implemented via attribute
traits
· Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3 - Providing an alternate base
object class
