NAME¶
Any::Moose - use Moose or Mouse modules
VERSION¶
version 0.17
SYNOPSIS¶
BASIC¶
package Class;
# uses Moose if it's loaded or demanded, Mouse otherwise
use Any::Moose;
# cleans the namespace up
no Any::Moose;
OTHER MODULES¶
package Other::Class;
use Any::Moose;
# uses Moose::Util::TypeConstraints if the class has loaded Moose,
# Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints otherwise.
use Any::Moose '::Util::TypeConstraints';
ROLES¶
package My::Sorter;
use Any::Moose 'Role';
requires 'cmp';
COMPLEX USAGE¶
package My::Meta::Class;
use Any::Moose;
# uses subtype from Moose::Util::TypeConstraints if the class loaded Moose,
# subtype from Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints otherwise.
# similarly for Mo*se::Util's does_role
use Any::Moose (
'::Util::TypeConstraints' => ['subtype'],
'::Util' => ['does_role'],
);
# uses MouseX::Types or MooseX::Types
use Any::Moose 'X::Types';
# gives you the right class name depending on which Mo*se was loaded
extends any_moose('::Meta::Class');
DESCRIPTION¶
Though we recommend that people generally use Moose, we accept that Moose cannot
yet be used for everything everywhere. People generally like the Moose sugar,
so many people use Mouse, a lightweight replacement for parts of Moose.
Because Mouse strives for compatibility with Moose, it's easy to substitute one
for the other. This module facilitates that substitution. By default, Mouse
will be provided to libraries, unless Moose is already loaded -or- explicitly
requested by the end-user. The end-user can force the decision of which
backend to use by setting the environment variable "ANY_MOOSE" to be
"Moose" or "Mouse".
Note that the decision of which backend to use is made only once, so that if
Any-Moose picks Mouse, then a third-party library loads Moose, anything else
that uses Any-Moose will continue to pick Mouse.
So, if you have to use Mouse, please be considerate to the Moose fanboys (like
myself!) and use Any-Moose instead. ":)"
SEE ALSO¶
Moose
Mouse
Squirrel - a deprecated first-stab at Any-Moose-like logic. Its biggest fault
was in making the decision of which backend to use every time it was used,
rather than just once.
