=head1 NAME

Moose::Util - Utilities for working with Moose classes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Moose::Util qw/find_meta does_role search_class_by_role/;

  my $meta = find_meta($object) || die "No metaclass found";

  if (does_role($object, $role)) {
    print "The object can do $role!\n";
  }

  my $class = search_class_by_role($object, 'FooRole');
  print "Nearest class with 'FooRole' is $class\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a set of utility functions to help working with Moose classes. This 
is an experimental module, and it's not 100% clear what purpose it will serve. 
That said, ideas, suggestions and contributions to this collection are most 
welcome. See the L<TODO> section below for a list of ideas for possible 
functions to write.

=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item B<find_meta ($class_or_obj)>

This will attempt to locate a metaclass for the given C<$class_or_obj>
and return it.

=item B<does_role ($class_or_obj, $role_name)>

Returns true if C<$class_or_obj> can do the role C<$role_name>.

=item B<search_class_by_role ($class_or_obj, $role_name)>

Returns first class in precedence list that consumed C<$role_name>.

=item B<apply_all_roles ($applicant, @roles)>

Given an C<$applicant> (which can somehow be turned into either a 
metaclass or a metarole) and a list of C<@roles> this will do the 
right thing to apply the C<@roles> to the C<$applicant>. This is 
actually used internally by both L<Moose> and L<Moose::Role>, and the
C<@roles> will be pre-processed through L<Data::OptList::mkopt>
to allow for the additional arguments to be passed. 

=item B<get_all_attribute_values($meta, $instance)>

Returns the values of the C<$instance>'s fields keyed by the attribute names.

=item B<get_all_init_args($meta, $instance)>

Returns a hash reference where the keys are all the attributes' C<init_arg>s
and the values are the instance's fields. Attributes without an C<init_arg>
will be skipped.

All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no 
exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
to cpan-RT.
