I couldn't use Moose for a database loader, for instance, and had to fall back to simple hashes. The speed difference was (for my specific case, which had lots of small objects) between 2 and 200 times slower with Moose, depending on other factors like hitting swap because the memory usage spiked. This is not surprising considering all that Moose does. I am a big fan of Moose and use it whenever I can, but only if I expect relatively few objects to be created and managed. Otherwise I would at least benchmark the performance and consider how the objects are going to be used.
