1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
3 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
4 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
5 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
8 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
11 * Class::MOP::Instance
12 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
14 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
16 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
17 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
18 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
19 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
22 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
23 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
27 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
28 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
29 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
30 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
31 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
34 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
35 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
36 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
39 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
40 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
41 consistency (nothingmuch)
42 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
44 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
45 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
46 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
47 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
50 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
51 * Class::MOP::Immutable
52 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
54 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
56 * Class::MOP::Instance
57 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
58 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
62 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
63 the class is already loaded (sartak)
64 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
65 instead of just 1 (sartak)
68 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
70 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
71 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
72 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
74 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
75 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
76 recognizes it correct this time.
78 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
79 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
82 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
83 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
86 - now stores the instance of the instance
87 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
88 and deletes it when the cache is blown
89 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
90 the options used to make it immutable as well as
91 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
94 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
95 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
96 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
100 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
102 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
103 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
105 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
106 names now throw a more direct error in
108 - tests for this and other aspects of
114 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
115 Class::MOP::Attribute
116 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
119 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
120 (late night release engineering)--
122 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
123 changes in this release
125 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
126 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
127 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
130 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
131 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
132 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
135 * Class::MOP::Package
136 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
138 - inlining a few calls to &name with
139 direct HASH access key access
140 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
141 a HASH of items based on a type filter
142 similar to list_all_package_symbols
143 - added tests for this
146 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
147 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
148 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
149 - added more descriptive error message to help
150 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
151 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
153 * Class::MOP::Immutable
154 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
156 - added tests for this
158 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
160 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
161 function from MRO::Compat
162 - All XS based functionality now has a
163 Pure Perl alternative
164 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
165 can now be used to force non-XS versions
168 * Class::MOP::Attribute
169 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
170 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
171 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
173 - added tests for this
175 * Class::MOP::Immutable
176 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
177 making the class immutable
180 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
181 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
182 allow for it to work.
183 - added tests for this
185 * Class::MOP::Attribute
187 Class::MOP::Immutable
188 - any time a method meta object is constructed
189 we make sure to pass the correct package and
190 method name information
193 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
194 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
195 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
196 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
197 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
198 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
199 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
200 throw an error if these are not supplied.
201 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
202 and now store the package_name and name attributes
205 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
206 Module::Install support has been removed
208 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
209 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
210 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
211 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
215 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
216 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
218 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
219 when it has no init_arg
220 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
221 to support c3 classes.
223 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
226 - making sure that load_class never gets
227 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
228 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
231 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
233 - improved error handling in ->create method
234 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
235 will be used to populate values
236 - added tests for this
239 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
240 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
246 Class::MOP::Attribute
247 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
248 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
250 * Class::MOP::Instance
251 Class::MOP::Immutable
252 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
255 - fixed the filename length on several
256 test files so we install on VMS better
258 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
259 should be catfile (RT #32385)
261 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
262 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
265 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
266 Class::MOP::Attribute
267 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
268 to indicate that no constructor args can
269 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
270 - added tests for this
271 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
274 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
275 feature instead of the silly hack from
276 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
278 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
280 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
283 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
284 - removed assumptions about the existence of
287 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
288 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
289 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
292 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
293 constant so that we can take advantage
294 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
297 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
298 optimize the &linearized_isa method
299 and avoid the hack/check for circular
300 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
301 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
302 - added tests for this
304 * Class::MOP::Immutable
305 - the immutable class now keeps track of
306 the transformer which immutablized it

312 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
314 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
315 transformation arguments are saved
317 - added tests for this
319 * Class::MOP::Immutable
320 - fixed a bug (see above)
322 * Class::MOP::Attribute
325 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
326 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
327 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
330 - removed the dependency on B
331 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
332 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
333 the B fiddling we were doing with
334 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
335 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
336 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
337 be used to help manage method caching.
340 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
341 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
342 even more accurate caching information.
343 blblack++ for that stuff :)
346 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
347 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
348 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
349 track of when we need to re-fetch the
351 - Several small improvements to take advantage
352 of the new method map caching features
354 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
355 * Class::MOP::Attribute
356 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
357 HASH ref case, which makes the

359 - added more tests for this
361 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
362 * Class::MOP::Attribute
363 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
364 - added more tests for this
366 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
368 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
369 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
370 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
372 * Class::MOP::Attribute
373 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
374 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
375 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
377 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
378 * Class::MOP::Attribute
379 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
381 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
382 - Apparently I didn't make dist correctly (groditi)
384 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
386 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
389 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
390 construct_class_instance (groditi)
391 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
392 call through (groditi)
394 * Class::MOP::Attribute
395 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
396 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
397 it is defined (groditi)
399 * Class::MOP::Instance
400 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
401 it is defined (groditi)
403 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
404 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
405 - removed the relevant attributes
407 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
408 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
409 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
410 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
412 - added tests for this
413 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
414 non-inlined constructors.
415 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
417 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
418 - added this class as an abstract base for the
419 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
420 - added tests for this
423 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
424 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
427 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
429 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
430 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
432 * Class::MOP::Package
433 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
436 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
438 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
440 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
441 it manually now so that people can use this
442 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
444 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
446 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
447 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
448 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
451 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
452 * Class::MOP::Immutable
453 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
454 - removed unused variable
455 - added create_immutable_transformer
456 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
457 - tests for this (groditi)
460 - Immutability can now be undone,
461 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
462 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
463 for details see comments next to make_immutable
464 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
465 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
466 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
467 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
468 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
469 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
471 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
472 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
474 * Class::MOP::Package
475 - we now deal with stub methods properly
476 - added tests for this
477 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
479 * Class::MOP::Attribute
480 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
481 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
483 - added tests and POD for this
486 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
487 handles undef values correctly.
488 - added tests for this
489 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
490 will not get reaped when instances still
491 exist which need to reference them. This is
492 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
493 obscure enough feature that there are not too
494 many work arounds out in the wild.
495 - added tests for this by groditi
496 - updated docs to explain this
499 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
500 - added tests for this behavior
502 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
503 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
506 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
507 - added tests and docs for these
509 * Class::MOP::Attribute
510 - default now checks the instance with defined to
511 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
515 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
521 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
522 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
523 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
524 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
527 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
529 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
530 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
531 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
534 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
535 immutable transformation instead of
536 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
538 + Class::MOP::Immutable
539 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
540 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
541 be coming eventually.
544 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
546 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
547 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
551 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
554 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
556 - constructor generation is now handled by
557 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
559 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
560 - created this to handle constructor generation
561 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
563 * Class::MOP::Attribute
565 - attributes now delegate to the
566 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
569 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
570 - all accessor generation functions from
571 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
573 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
575 * scripts/class_browser.pl
576 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
577 on this to come. Comments and patches are
581 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
582 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
583 they are aliased from the originals
584 - fixed tests to reflect
585 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
587 - adjusted tests for this
588 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
593 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
594 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
595 - adjusted tests to compensate
596 - adjusted docs for this
599 - changed how methods are dealt with to
600 encapsulate most of the work into the
601 &get_method_map method
602 - made several adjustments for the change
603 in Class::MOP::Method
604 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
605 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
606 old one before installing the new one
607 - added tests for this
608 - adjusted docs for this
610 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
611 - added caching of &get_method_map
612 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
613 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
615 * Class::MOP::Package
616 - added filtering capabilities to
617 &list_all_package_symbols
619 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
621 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
622 the $:version and such just actually goes
623 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
624 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
626 - The &create method now requires that all
627 but the package name now is passed in as
628 named parameters. See docs for more info.
629 - updated docs and tests for this
632 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
636 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
637 which do not store things in the instance
638 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
641 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
643 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
645 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
646 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
649 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
650 - fixed all tests for this
652 * Class::MOP::Attribute
653 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
654 are no longer allowed for defaults
655 - added tests for this
657 * Class::MOP::Package
658 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
659 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
660 always reloaded from the symbol table.
662 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
664 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
665 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
666 metamodel is more complete (and closer
667 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
669 * Class::MOP::Package
670 - refactored entire class, this is now
671 the primary gateway between the metaclass
672 and the Perl 5 symbol table
673 - added many tests for this
674 - this class is now a subclass of
676 - added some tests to reflect this
679 - refactored all symbol table access to
680 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
683 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
684 so that Module has a version as an attribute
685 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
686 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
687 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
688 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
689 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
690 - added tests for this
692 * Class::MOP::Instance
693 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
695 - added tests for this
697 * Class::MOP::Attribute

706 anywhere within the class hierarchy
708 * Class::MOP::Attribute
709 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
710 the value of the attribute for a particular
713 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
714 ---------------------------------------
715 This is the first version of Class::MOP
716 to introduce the immutable features which
717 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
718 This support should still be considered
719 experimental, but moving towards stability.
720 ---------------------------------------
722 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
724 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
725 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
726 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
729 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
730 - several methods moved to ::Module and
731 ::Package and now inherited
732 - added tests for this
734 * Class::MOP::Instance
735 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
736 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
737 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
738 instance creation (of course)
741 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
742 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
743 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
744 because they are now more general purpose symbol
745 table manipulation methods.
747 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
748 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
750 - small change in &create so that it behaves

755 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
756 - This release works in combination with
757 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release

767 * Class::MOP::Instance
768 - added new instance protocol
769 - added tests for this

783 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
785 - added tests for this

802 - added tests for this
803 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
804 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
805 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
806 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
807 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
808 delegates appropriately
810 * Class::MOP::Attribute
811 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
812 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
813 called initialize_instance_slot
816 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
817 initialize_instance_slot method
819 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

834 - adjusted all /example files to comply
836 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
838 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
839 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
840 - added test case for this
842 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
844 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
845 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
846 available in DESTORY calls
848 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
849 - removed the dependency for Clone since
850 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
853 - added &package_name, &name and
854 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
855 which were formerly private subs in
858 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
859 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
860 before, after and around modifiers
861 - added tests and docs for this feature
864 - improved &get_package_symbol
865 - &version and &superclasses now use it
866 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
868 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
869 - &add_before_method_modifier
870 - &add_after_method_modifier
871 - &add_around_method_modifier
872 - added tests and docs for these
873 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
874 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
876 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
877 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
881 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
882 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
883 the test skip if it is not installed
885 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
887 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
890 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
891 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
892 - added docs and tests
894 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
895 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
896 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
897 be considered "ready to use".
899 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
900 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
901 - test coverage is now at 99%
904 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
905 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
906 metaclass pragma instead.
909 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
910 error/edge-case tests
912 * Class::MOP::Attribute
913 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
914 error/edge-case tests
917 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
919 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
921 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
922 metaclass a little more straightforward
925 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
926 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
927 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
928 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
932 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
933 is now more useful for subclasses
934 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
935 hash of attribute meta objects
936 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
937 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
938 since all the same info can be gotten from the
939 attribute meta-object itself
940 - updated docs & tests to reflect
941 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
942 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
943 - added docs & tests for this
944 - added Clone as a dependency
945 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
946 return blessed new or cloned instances
947 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
948 - added docs & tests for this
949 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
950 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
951 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
952 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
953 - added tests and docs for this
956 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
958 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
960 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
962 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
963 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
964 attributes/methods respectively
967 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
970 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
971 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
975 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
977 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
979 * Class::MOP::Attribute

995 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
996 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
997 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
