I think this is a great, minimalist way to understand OO, compared with a big black-boxish and black-magical Moose.

I will agree that Moose is very black-boxish, but it is actually very much not black-magical. From the very start Moose has tried to avoid all deep black magic hacks that have plagued so many previous attempts at improving Perl OO.

In short, black magic is inherently fragile and ill advised, we (Moose core devs) avoid it.

Of course, I am speaking of Moose, not MooseX::Declare which has TONS of black magic in it.

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.
