[...] This add_singleton_method does all the dirty work that applying a role to an object did in previous post. [...]

You could look at AutoDia or UML::Class::Simple on CPAN to do this?

I’ve tried UML::Class::Simple before… it doesn’t work (yet) with MooseX::Declare but it does work on classic Moose.

For eg.

Certainly a good option but for showing how applied roles work and making it pretty then something like OmniGraffle maybe best route. That is until someone produces a MooseX::UML module

thanks for help

Thank you eiro.

The syntax highlighting comes with free WordPress account. See here for more info: http://transfixedbutnotdead.com/2008/03/14/doodling-with-moose-intermission/

Update: FAQ link in above is now dead Tut tut WordPress for link breakage! Anyway here is the new support page which replaced that FAQ: http://support.wordpress.com/code/

NB. I’m hoping at some point the free WordPress account will add gist (Github) syntax highlighting. That one does come with proper perl syntax highlighting!

For diagrams I used OmniGraffle which runs on the Mac. I’ve used for this for all my diagrams for last five or so years and highly recommend it.

Many thanks Stevan.

I think Dave Thomas’s presentation on Ruby’s object model that I link to in very first post of this “series” deserves most of the credit because it inspired me to see how this all worked in Moose.

Very nice. Your two pictures is probably the best explanation yet of how applying roles to an instance work. Exactly as you said “This is a clear example of a picture being definitely worth a thousand words”
