In the example she gave, the point was not to call MyRole's foo, only
to replace it. ( Because Roles prohibit replacement by default, its a
conflict that must be manually resolved )
Hence, "around foo" wraps MyRole::foo and *creates* MyClass::foo
without the conflict.
If one wants to call MyRole::foo in the new MyClass::foo, this is done:
package MyClass;
use Moose;
with 'MyRole';
around foo => sub {
my ( $orig, $self, @args );
return join q[, ], 'I came from the class', $self->$orig( @args );
};
This would print
"I came from the class, I came from the role"
Noting that:
"$orig" is the "wrapped" sub, MyRole::foo
That calling it is optional, and you can call it anywhere in the wrapper.
That you can intercept its return value, and modify its arguments
before calling.
