"PHP got Traits before Perl"
ReplyDeleteCome on :) Is Moose released before PHP 5.4.0?
Just humour me a moment...
ReplyDeleteWhat about your example wouldn't work by:
package MyRole {
sub foo { return 'test' }
}
package MyClass {
use base qw( MyRole );
...
}
MyClass->new->foo;
?
@harbud like all of my wishlist series, CPAN doesn't cut it. Fortunately this should be a feature of p5p MOP. @LeoNerd when I say that's all I want I should probably have clarified that It still has to do it via composition not inheritance, meaning application of multiple roles could/should behave differently than multiple inheritance. What I was trying to say is I'd be ok getting it without a MOP

I'd love to go, in fact I'd love to go and stay, unfortunately I don't see it as being financially feasible at this time.
