I am not a fan of inside-out objects in perl, because I have much old
code which uses old-style hash objects.
It's confusing to have two types (although technically usable).
We have been converting our hand-rolled Database API to DBIx::Class,
which uses Class::Accessor (actually an extension written for DBIC)
called Class:Accessor::Grouped and Class:C3 to dispatch.
What do people think of this one?

Hi Michael
This isn't a "hey, Class::MOP is the new hotness!" change, is it?
I think this was a "hey, Class::MOP is really cool. I bet it would
make CGI::App
much simpler...oh wait. Look how slow everything got!". And now we
also have
"Look how big everything got!".
So, pretty please, can we have a guarantee from the 'developer in
quesiton' that Class::MOP will not be used?
I've just finished reading Perl Best Practices by Damian Conway,
and compiled a list of 14 class-helper type modules on CPAN (yes,
I'm sure there are more), since I (too) have been wondering how my
future work would develop.
I realize there is no one perfect answer to this question, and
Damian's module Class::Std has a long bug list on RT.
Nevertheless, my vote would be either for Object::InsideOut or
Class::Std, but only if it was necessary to use such a system in
the first place. And is it necessary? This is the question. My
feeling is: No, not for CGI::App.
If you were to start another project, let's call it CGI::Framework,
then sure, investigate such things, but I can't see how CGI::App
needs any of this class/meta-class overhead.
