Thanks Ben and Shlomi. Ovid's summary of traits/roles is excellent. That seems to be one of the strongest reasons to use Moose and knowing some of the performance issues in advance will help to avoid pitfalls.

You can get a good overview of what Moose does for you on a large project from Ovid's blog where he discussed Moose as he was learning it. Let me grab a few relevant entries: http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/38649 http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/38662 http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/38705 http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/38880 http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/38785 He then encapsulated a lot of this into one presentation at http://www.slideshare.net/Ovid/inheritance-versus-roles-1799996.
