Richard, Actually it seems that most of the MooseX::Role modules (http://search.cpan.org/search?query=MooseX::Role&mode=all) are not that.
Some of them do extend the Role API, but most seem to provide some level of basic features that can be mixed into an object. In some cases this is an inappropriate use of the MooseX::Role namespace and in others I think it straddles the line. For instance, MooseX::Role::TraitsConstructor is not extending the Role API, but I am not sure that would make sense to be named anything different. I think really it depends on what exactly Ian's module does here. Ian, care to share the code? - Stevan On Sep 19, 2011, at 9:07 AM, Richard Simões wrote: > I think a MooseX::Role::* module would be generally understood to be > an extension of the Moose role API.
