Hello - This is going to sound weird, but I haven’t actually used Moose for anything yet (except a couple of tests). However, I’ve already written a MooseX module. Crazy! Quickly: I’m starting on a project where I want to use OO Perl. First I learned about the “hard way” with Perl, then I read PBP and learned about Class::Std. I was all set to use Class::Std when that little extra research led me to Moose. I’m just about ready to start my project with Moose, but I realized that Moose appears to be lacking a feature from Class::Std that I thought would be really useful: AUTOMETHODs. After reading about how easy it was to extend Moose, I went ahead and created my new extension: MooseX::Automethod. Now, I’m not a CPAN contributor (yet). That’s why I’ve come here. I’m hoping somebody who is already contributing to CPAN and MooseX would be willing to take my code from here. I think it would be quicker than me registering with PAUSE and learning the ins-and-outs of publishing new modules (though I’m not totally against that option). So, I’m looking for somebody willing to agree to adopting my module and maintaining it on CPAN. The source code can be found at the link below (on my personal wiki). The module itself is relatively small (the POD is 70% of the file). I ask that my name remain in the POD as the original author. http://esjs.wikidot.com/software:moosex-automethod Again, I’m not against becoming a CPAN contributor if needed. I’m just not interested in the hassle at the moment – especially if somebody is willing to adopt this new module. However, if nobody is willing to do so, PAUSE registration will be my next step. I’ve only “lightly” tested the code to make sure it works with Moose (pretty much testing the code in the Synopsis of the POD). Feedback is appreciated. Let me know what you think. Thanks. - Jess “Esjs” OdumThread Next
