Comments on: Embracing the Ungulate http://www.dereferenced.com/2009/09/16/embracing-the-ungulate/ A preponderance of Perl, an excess of XML, and additional alliterations.

It's the official manual, written by Dave Rolsky and Stevan Little. You can get a copy here: http://www.lulu.com/content/7406976/ We just published the Moose manual which you can buy from Lulu.

As for creating inside-out objects in Moose, by default Moose uses blessed hashrefs, so I believe what you need to look at is MooseX::InsideOut and MooseX::NonMoose in combination.

You might want to read Moose::Manual::Unsweetened to help show the difference between old school Perl OO and Moose. And of course come on over to #moose on irc.perl.org or the mailing list and we will be happy to give you some virtual penicillin to help clear up that (Class::)STD infected module. On thing to note though is when porting an existing CPAN module, make sure you don't upset your downstream users, see the recent Moose-or-No-Moose controversy (http://perlhacks.com/2009/09/moose-or-no-moose.php).

Come onto the #moose IRC channel if you get stuck after going through that. In fact, come to the channel and just hang out, you will be surprised what you will learn. I personally find reviewing examples in the test suite to be helpful. I’d start by reading the CPAN tutorial and then reviewing the general docs.
