It depends if the attribute operates during the BEGIN phase or CHECK
or INIT. The latter two don't play well with mod_perl. There are
various workarounds for this that you can see in the inside-out
modules that use attributes (Object::InsideOut and Class::Std).
Also, unless you use Attribute::Handlers or, again, do some special
workarounds, then your attributes won't play well with any other
attributes modules that use different methods. Attribute::Handlers is
the closest to a standard that lets attribute modules play well
together.

Hi all,
Some folks are happy with my Class::Trait module, but not entirely happy with the the
fact that "private" trait methods currently must be declared as lexical methods:
my $meth = sub { ... };
sub foo { shift->$meth }
Praveen Ray has sent me a patch which lets authors do this:
sub meth : private { ... }
sub foo { shift->meth }
That's a much nicer syntax but I also realize that a number of folks aren't keen on
attributes. This attribute is read by "use attributes"
(http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8/lib/attributes.pm), a nice, core module,
but I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls here I should be aware of?
Cheers,
Ovid
