Merlyn,
I guess the problem here is that Moose doesn't really call the accessors in the constructor but just uses some shortcut to
copy the constructor parameters to the object.
While I fully admit that I've not been following this discussion closely, whenever I've seen a statement such as thi
Thanks for quick and helpful replies. I'm not really trying to subvert
inheritance though I now see that my simplified example looks much like

the underlying methods the contained object has. It really wasn't
intended to subvert inheritance like you're trying to do.
