G'day wise monastery dwellers,
I am using Moo and would like to be able to subclass some of my Moo::Roles, but unfortunately this does not seem to be possible (unless I'm doing something wrong). I'd like to be able to override the attributes in subclassed roles in addition to adding extra functions, e.g.
package BasicRole;
use Moo::Role;
has 'attrib' => ( is => 'ro' );
sub do_something {
...
}
1;
package NotSoBasicRole;
use Moo;
extends 'BasicRole';
has '+attrib' => ( default => sub { return 1; } );
1;
package SpecialRole;
use Moo;
extends 'NotSoBasicRole;
has '+attrib' => ( default => sub { return 2; } );
sub do_something_else {
...
}
1;
However, trying to extend a Moo::Role gives the error "Can't extend role" (see also https://github.com/moose/Moo/blob/master/t/extends-role.t).
Is there a nice way to handle this situation?

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).
