This document serves as API documentation. =head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS Moose::Role currently supports all of the functions that L exports, but differs slightly in how some items are handled (see L below for details). Moose::Role also offers two role-specific keyword exports: =over 4 =item B Roles can require that certain methods are implemented by any class which C the role. =item B Roles can C other roles, in effect saying "I can never be combined with these C<@role_names>". This is a feature which should not be used lightly. =back =head2 B Moose::Role offers a way to remove the keywords it exports, through the C method. You simply have to say C at the bottom of your code for this to work. =head2 B<< Moose::Role->init_meta(for_class => $role, metaclass => $metaclass) >> The C method sets up the metaclass object for the role specified by C. It also injects a a C accessor into the role so you can get at this object. The default metaclass is L. You can specify an alternate metaclass with the C parameter. =head1 METACLASS When you use Moose::Role, you can specify which metaclass to use: use Moose::Role -metaclass => 'My::Meta::Role'; You can also specify traits which will be applied to your role metaclass: use Moose::Role -traits => 'My::Trait'; This is very similar to the attribute traits feature. When you do this, your class's C object will have the specified traits applied to it. See L for more details. =head1 CAVEATS Role support has only a few caveats: =over 4 =item * Roles cannot use the C keyword; it will throw an exception for now. The same is true of the C and C keywords (not sure those really make sense for roles). All other Moose keywords will be I so that they can be applied to the consuming class. =item * Role composition does its best to B be order-sensitive when it comes to conflict resolution and requirements detection. However, it is order-sensitive when it comes to method modifiers. All before/around/after modifiers are included whenever a role is composed into a class, and then applied in the order in which the roles are used. This also means that there is no conflict for before/around/after modifiers. In most cases, this will be a non-issue; however, it is something to keep in mind when using method modifiers in a role. You should never assume any ordering. =back =head1 BUGS All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception.
