Moo is a light-weight object oriented programming framework which aims to be compatible with Moose. It does this by detecting when Moose has been loaded, and automatically "inflating" its classes and roles to full Moose classes and roles. This way, Moo classes can consume Moose roles, Moose classes can extend Moo classes, and so forth. However, the surface syntax of Moo differs somewhat from Moose. For example the 'isa' option when defining attributes in Moose must be either a string or a blessed Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object; but in Moo must be a coderef. These differences in surface syntax make porting code from Moose to Moo potentially tricky. MooX::late provides some assistance by enabling a slightly more Moosey surface syntax. MooX::late does the following: * 1. Supports 'isa => $stringytype'. * 2. Supports 'does => $rolename' . * 3. Supports 'lazy_build => 1'. * 4. Exports 'blessed' and 'confess' functions to your namespace. * 5. Handles native attribute traits. Five features. It is not the aim of 'MooX::late' to make every aspect of Moo behave exactly identically to Moose. It's just going after the low-hanging fruit. So it does five things right now, and I promise that future versions will never do more than seven. Previous releases of MooX::late added support for 'coerce => 1' and 'default => $nonref'. These features have now been added to Moo itself, so MooX::late no longer has to deal with them.
