NAME

MooseX::Role::WithOverloading - (DEPRECATED) Roles which support overloading

VERSION

version 0.17

SYNOPSIS

package MyRole;
use MooseX::Role::WithOverloading;

use overload
    q{""}    => 'as_string',
    fallback => 1;

has message => (
    is       => 'rw',
    isa      => 'Str',
);

sub as_string { shift->message }

package MyClass;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;

with 'MyRole';

package main;

my $i = MyClass->new( message => 'foobar' );
print $i; # Prints 'foobar'

DESCRIPTION

MooseX::Role::WithOverloading allows you to write a Moose::Role which defines overloaded operators and allows those overload methods to be composed into the classes/roles/instances it's compiled to, where plain Moose::Roles would lose the overloading.

Starting with Moose version 2.1300, this module is no longer necessary, as the functionality is available already. In that case, use MooseX::Role::WithOverloading behaves identically to use Moose::Role.

DEPRECATION NOTICE

This module is marked as deprecated, as starting with Moose version 2.1300, the functionality provided here is now built-in to Moose. You only need to use this module if you are using an older Moose (but please upgrade!).
