=head1 NAME

Moose - Moose, it's the new Camel

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package Point;
  use Moose;
  	
  has 'x' => (isa => 'Int', is => 'rw');
  has 'y' => (isa => 'Int', is => 'rw');
  
  sub clear {
      my $self = shift;
      $self->x(0);
      $self->y(0);    
  }
  
  package Point3D;
  use Moose;
  
  extends 'Point';
  
  has 'z' => (isa => 'Int');
  
  after 'clear' => sub {
      my $self = shift;
      $self->{z} = 0;
  };
  
=head1 CAVEAT

This is a B<very> early release of this module, it still needs 
some fine tuning and B<lots> more documentation. I am adopting 
the I<release early and release often> approach with this module, 
so keep an eye on your favorite CPAN mirror!

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Moose is an extension of the Perl 5 object system. 

=head2 Another object system!?!?

Yes, I know there has been an explosion recently of new ways to 
build object's in Perl 5, most of them based on inside-out objects, 
and other such things. Moose is different because it is not a new 
object system for Perl 5, but instead an extension of the existing 
object system.

Moose is built on top of L<Class::MOP>, which is a metaclass system 
for Perl 5. This means that Moose not only makes building normal 
Perl 5 objects better, but it also provides the power of metaclass 
programming.

=head2 What does Moose stand for??

Moose doesn't stand for one thing in particular, however, if you 
want, here are a few of my favorites, feel free to contribute 
more :)

=head1 BUILDING CLASSES WITH MOOSE

Moose makes every attempt to provide as much convience during class 
construction/definition, but still stay out of your way if you want 
it to. Here are some of the features Moose provides:

Unless specified with C<extends>, any class which uses Moose will 
inherit from L<Moose::Object>.

Moose will also manage all attributes (including inherited ones) that 
are defined with C<has>. And assuming that you call C<new> which is 
inherited from L<Moose::Object>, then this includes properly initializing 
all instance slots, setting defaults where approprtiate and performing any 
type constraint checking or coercion. 

=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

Moose will export a number of functions into the class's namespace, which 
can then be used to set up the class. These functions all work directly 
on the current class.

=over 4

=item B<meta>

This is a method which provides access to the current class's metaclass.

=item B<extends (@superclasses)>

This function will set the superclass(es) for the current class.

This approach is recommended instead of C<use base>, because C<use base> 
actually C<push>es onto the class's C<@ISA>, whereas C<extends> will 
replace it. This is important to ensure that classes which do not have 
superclasses properly inherit from L<Moose::Object>.

=item B<has ($name, %options)>

This will install an attribute of a given C<$name> into the current class. 
The list of C<%options> are the same as those provided by both 
L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>, in addition to a 
few convience ones provided by Moose which are listed below:

=over 4

=item I<is =E<gt> 'rw'|'ro'>

The I<is> option accepts either I<rw> (for read/write) or I<ro> (for read 
only). These will create either a read/write accessor or a read-only 
accessor respectively, using the same name as the C<$name> of the attribute.

If you need more control over how your accessors are named, you can use the 
I<reader>, I<writer> and I<accessor> options inherited from L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>.

=item I<isa =E<gt> $type_name>

The I<isa> option uses Moose's type constraint facilities to set up runtime 
type checking for this attribute. Moose will perform the checks during class 
construction, and within any accessors. The C<$type_name> argument must be a 
string. The string can be either a class name, or a type defined using 
Moose's type defintion features.

=back

=item B<before $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>

=item B<after $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>

=item B<around $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>

This three items are syntactic sugar for the before, after and around method 
modifier features that L<Class::MOP> provides. More information on these can 
be found in the L<Class::MOP> documentation for now. 

=item B<confess>

This is the C<Carp::confess> function, and exported here beause I use it 
all the time. This feature may change in the future, so you have been warned. 

=item B<blessed>

This is the C<Scalar::Uti::blessed> function, it is exported here beause I 
use it all the time. It is highly recommended that this is used instead of 
C<ref> anywhere you need to test for an object's class name.

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

=over 4

=item I blame Sam Vilain for introducing me to the insanity that is meta-models.

=item I blame Audrey Tang for then encouraging my meta-model habit in #perl6.

=item Without Yuval "nothingmuch" Kogman this module would not be possible, 
and it certainly wouldn't have this name ;P

=item The basis of the TypeContraints module was Rob Kinyon's idea 
originally, I just ran with it.

=item Thanks to mst & chansen and the whole #moose poose for all the 
ideas/feature-requests/encouragement
