* Ovid publiustemp-moduleautho...@yahoo.com [2010-07-26 21:35]: I'm thinking about writing a module which is merely a role (Moose::Role) which one must consume. While there doesn't appear to be a standard for this, I was thinking about trying to set a precedent and use the Does:: namespace. For example, if you want a upload a role which serializes things to YAML, you might call it Does::Serialize::YAML to make it clear it's a role to be consumed and not a stand-alone package. Verbs as namespaces usually read weird, and the objection regarding `with` is especially salient. I second TraitFor, or else just appending Role.

Due to the fact Moose roles are used with the word 'with', it feels a little bit weird to say something like: package Car; use Moose; with 'Does::AutoPilot'; Although there is no reason not to make a keyword 'which' for that matter.

Seems reasonable. If it's Moose-specific, then maybe see if you can work that into the name too. -- David Cantrell | Hero of the Information Age Do not be afraid of cooking, as your ingredients will know and misbehave -- Fergus Henderson
