Yes, but it isn't pretty. Moose::Meta::Attribute defines a set of "legal_options_for_inheritance", and getopt_name isn't one of them (obviously since Moose doesn't even know about it). You need to override the legal_options_for_inheritance method from Moose::Meta::Attribute and add that method to the allowed methods ... or complain to #moose-dev about why we have a hard coded list with no easy way to override it ... complaining with a topic/ branch to show how easy a solution would be to implement and some docs and tests will probably work best and earn you a frosty beverage of your choice. -Chris It's late and I can't really come up with a better solution right now, perhaps someone who's less tired will have one?
