Hi,
I have a moose role and two classes that do it. However, the role uses one of these classes. Is this kind of circularity allowed? I'm getting an error that I don't understand - an instance does a role but can't find a method defined in that role.
I've tried to write the simplest set of code that replicates the problem:
In Hello.pm:
package Hello;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Moose::Role;
use namespace::autoclean;
use Greeting;
sub hello_world {
print "hello world\n";
}
1;
In Greeting.pm:
package Greeting;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
with 'Hello';
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
1;
In Greeting2.pm:
package Greeting2;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
with 'Hello';
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
1;
And then a script test.pl that uses these:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
+
+
use Greeting2;
use Greeting;
my $greeting = Greeting->new();
print $greeting, "\t", $greeting->does('Hello') ? "does Hello\n" : "do
+es not do Hello\n";
$greeting->hello_world();
When I run test.pl I get the following error:
Greeting=HASH(0x8e5da40) does Hello
Can't locate object method "hello_world" via package "Greeting" at ./test.pl line 9.
How come Greeting does Hello but can't locate the hello_world method? If I 'use Greeting' before 'use Greeting2', or if I don't 'use Greeting' in Hello.pm, I don't get the error.
I'd be really grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Matthew

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
