Why a trait here? Define an interface (a role with only 'requires') and
delegate off to objects which do that interface.
has abilities => (
is => 'rw',
does => 'Acme::Role::Combat',
default => sub { Acme::Combat::Normal->new },
handles => [qw/
attack
defend
run
hide
/],
);
And later:
my $character = Acme::Character->new({
name => "Joe Blow",
%other_characteristics,
})
And later, when Joe Blow gets bitten by the radioactive chipmunk:
$character->abilities(Acme::Combat::Chipmunk->new);
And when it wears off:
$character->abilities(Acme::Combat::Normal->new);
Of course, both Acme::Combat::Chipmunk and Acme::Combat::Normal implement the
desired role. With that, you can swap out abilities as needed.
Or am I misunderstanding something?
Cheers,
Ovid
