Hello Mooseketeers! I'm relatively new to Moose - I've built a nice Moose based app that I use in production.
Now, I want to do something more complex. I want to abstract an interface (or similar) so that I can transfer files via FTP, SFTP or SCP (maybe even just "cp"). To make it simple, I'd like to implement only a few of the methods - those around fetching files off some remote system where the protocol varies. The "get" type interfaces of all of these remote systems are very similar: connect authenticate ls get The attributes are also very similar: Host User Passwd RemoteDir So it seems I have many choices under the Moose umbrella: Roles Subclasses SubTypes Interface Others? The downline classes (Net::FTP, Net::SSH2) are obviously not Moose classes. But I can imagine my driver program looking extremely simple: my $remote_sys = MyAPP::Remote->new($attr_hash); $remote_sys->connect(); $remote_sys->authenticate(); $remote_sys->ls(); $remote_sys->get(); I've read many fine articles about all the various features and possible ways of coding such a critter. I've also been through many articles warning of how to "not" do things ;-) Could someone suggest a high level direction? I'd be happy to post my final example once I have it. Thanks!! --Dan
