Re: Dear Moose docs...

[Your Mother]

One wonders how much documentation it would take-

use strict;
use warnings;
...
use Moose; # automatically turns on strict and warnings

Not to be snarky, just 'cause it was hanging down.

Moose doesn't aim to teach OO but to be a platform for it. Reading Conway's OO book or looking for general Perl OO tutorials would probably eliminate the lack of clarity, which I never noticed but can understand once someone else points it out.

In FOSS you're not gonna find much play in UR TEH SUCK. Better to say, I wanted to do X, I failed to find how in Y, if Z were there or you can point me to it, I'd love that!

Moose doesn't aim to teach OO

indeed, but the OPs question falls under how-to use moose, not oo

Oh, I know but the weakness in the docs was a complete surprise to me because I have the POOP background, heh-heh, heh-heh… To someone who has that context, the docs don’t need help at all. Fresh eyes were needed to expose it. Friendly eyes would be more likely to rope a sucker like me into Pod edits and pull requests.
