+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+If you're trying to figure out just what the heck Moose does, and how
+it saves you time, you might find it helpful to see what Moose is
+\&\fIreally\fR doing for you. This document shows you the translation from
+Moose sugar back to plain old Perl 5.
+.SH "CLASSES AND ATTRIBUTES"
+.IX Header "CLASSES AND ATTRIBUTES"
+First, we define two very small classes the Moose way.
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& package Person;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& use DateTime;
+\& use DateTime::Format::Natural;
+\& use Moose;
+\& use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 5
+\& has name => (
+\& is => 'rw',
+\& isa => 'Str',
+\& required => 1,
+\& );
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& # Moose doesn't know about non\-Moose\-based classes.
+\& class_type 'DateTime';
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& my $en_parser = DateTime::Format::Natural\->new(
+\& lang => 'en',
+\& time_zone => 'UTC',
+\& );
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& coerce 'DateTime'
+\& => from 'Str'
+\& => via { $en_parser\->parse_datetime($_) };
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 6
+\& has birth_date => (
+\& is => 'rw',
+\& isa => 'DateTime',
+\& coerce => 1,
+\& handles => { birth_year => 'year' },
+\& );
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& subtype 'ShirtSize'
+\& => as 'Str'
+\& => where { /^(?:s|m|l|xl|xxl)$/i }
+\& => message { "$_ is not a valid shirt size (s, m, l, xl, xxl)" };
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 5
+\& has shirt_size => (
+\& is => 'rw',
+\& isa => 'ShirtSize',
+\& default => 'l',
+\& );
+.Ve
+.PP
+This is a fairly simple class with three attributes. We also define a
+type to validate t\-shirt sizes because we don't want to end up with
+something like \*(L"blue\*(R" for the shirt size!
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& package User;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& use Email::Valid;
+\& use Moose;
+\& use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& extends 'Person';
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& subtype 'Email'
+\& => as 'Str'
+\& => where { Email::Valid\->address($_) }
+\& => message { "$_ is not a valid email address" };
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 5
+\& has email_address => (
+\& is => 'rw',
+\& isa => 'Email',
+\& required => 1,
+\& );
+.Ve
+.PP
+This class subclasses Person to add a single attribute, email address.
+.PP
+Now we will show what these classes would look like in plain old Perl
+5. For the sake of argument, we won't use any base classes or any
+helpers like \f(CW\*(C`Class::Accessor\*(C'\fR.

+.PP
+Wow, that was a mouthful! One thing to note is just how much space the
+data validation code consumes. As a result, it's pretty common for
+Perl 5 programmers to just not bother. Unfortunately, not validating
+arguments leads to surprises down the line (\*(L"why is birth_date an
+email address?\*(R").
+.PP
+Also, did you spot the (intentional) bug?
+.PP
+It's in the \f(CW\*(C`_validate_birth_date()\*(C'\fR method. We should check that
+the value in \f(CW$birth_date\fR is actually defined and an object before
+we go and call \f(CW\*(C`isa()\*(C'\fR on it! Leaving out those checks means our data
+validation code could actually cause our program to die. Oops.
+.PP
+Note that if we add a superclass to Person we'll have to change the
+constructor to account for that.
+.PP
+(As an aside, getting all the little details of what Moose does for
+you just right in this example was really not easy, which emphasizes
+the point of the example. Moose saves you a lot of work!)
+.PP
+Now let's see User:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& package User;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& use strict;
+\& use warnings;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& use Carp qw( confess );
+\& use Email::Valid;
+\& use Scalar::Util qw( blessed );
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& use base 'Person';
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& sub new {
+\& my $class = shift;
+\& my %p = ref $_[0] ? %{ $_[0] } : @_;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& exists $p{email_address}
+\& or confess 'email_address is a required attribute';
+\& $class\->_validate_email_address( $p{email_address} );
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& my $self = $class\->SUPER::new(%p);
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& $self\->{email_address} = $p{email_address};
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& return $self;
+\& }
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& sub _validate_email_address {
+\& shift;
+\& my $email_address = shift;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& local $Carp::CarpLevel = $Carp::CarpLevel + 1;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& defined $email_address
+\& or confess 'email_address must be a string';
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\& Email::Valid\->address($email_address)
+\& or confess "$email_address is not a valid email address";
+\& }
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& sub email_address {
+\& my $self = shift;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& if (@_) {
+\& $self\->_validate_email_address( $_[0] );
+\& $self\->{email_address} = $_[0];
+\& }
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& return $self\->{email_address};
+\& }
+.Ve
+.PP
+That one was shorter, but it only has one attribute.
+.PP
+Between the two classes, we have a whole lot of code that doesn't do
+much. We could probably simplify this by defining some sort of
+\&\*(L"attribute and validation\*(R" hash, like this:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& package Person;
+.Ve
+.PP
+.Vb 14
+\& my %Attr = (
+\& name => {
+\& required => 1,
+\& validate => sub { defined $_ },
+\& },
+\& birth_date => {
+\& required => 1,
+\& validate => sub { blessed $_ && $_\->isa('DateTime') },
+\& },
+\& shirt_size => {
+\& required => 1,
+\& validate => sub { defined $_ && $_ =~ /^(?:s|m|l|xl|xxl)$/i },
+\& }
+\& );
+.Ve
+.PP
+Then we could define a base class that would accept such a definition,
+and do the right thing. Keep that sort of thing up and we're well on
+our way to writing a half-assed version of Moose!
+.PP
+Of course, there are \s-1CPAN\s0 modules that do some of what Moose does,
+like \f(CW\*(C`Class::Accessor\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Class::Meta\*(C'\fR, and so on. But none of them
+put together all of Moose's features along with a layer of declarative
+sugar, nor are these other modules designed for extensibility in the
+same way as Moose. With Moose, it's easy to write a MooseX module to
+replace or extend a piece of built-in functionality.
+.PP
+Moose is a complete \s-1OO\s0 package in and of itself, and is part of a rich
+ecosystem of extensions. It also has an enthusiastic community of
+users, and is being actively maintained and developed.
