Thanks. This is a test I did. I am not sure if I am right or wrong but I guess in the second case the superclass of Item becomes Moose::Object, not Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder, and that's why Catalyst is complaining about. Am I right?

[1]
use Moose;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema' };
print "$_\n", foreach @MyApp::Controller::Item::ISA;
<result>
Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder
[2]
use Moose;
use base qw/Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder/;
print "$_\n", foreach @MyApp::Controller::Item::ISA;
<result>
Moose::Object
Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
