It's best documentation is still the the test suite, but it is fairly safe to assume Perl 6 style behavior, and then either refer to the test suite, or ask questions on #moose if something doesn't quite do what you expect. More complete documentation is planned and will be included with the next official (non-developer) release. =head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS Currently Moose::Role 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 =head1 CAVEATS The role support now has only a few caveats. They are as follows: =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 it's 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 are applied in the order the roles are used. This too means that there is no conflict for before/around/after modifiers as well. 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. =item * The C keyword currently only works with actual methods. A method modifier (before/around/after and override) will not count as a fufillment of the requirement, and neither will an autogenerated accessor for an attribute. It is likely that the attribute accessors will eventually be allowed to fufill those requirements, either that or we will introduce a C keyword of some kind instead. This descision has not yet been finalized. =back =head1 BUGS All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception.
