[Israel.pm] Delegation in Moose and Other Delegation Modules

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all!

We discussed delegation in Perl and other languages here before:

http://perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2007-January/thread.html#8390

As I discovered Moose has a delagation mechanism called "handles":

http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Moose/Moose.html#i_handles_gt_ARRAY_HASH_REGEXP_ROLE_

You can pass to an accessor an array of method names and it will install 
delegates for each one. Or you can pass a hash ref and it will map from 
locally-installed names to the original names. 

What I did for this in my code is:

<<<<<<<<
    handles => 
    {
        map { '_'.$_ => $_ } 
        qw(curr_line next_line with_curr_line)
    },
>>>>>>>>

After more investigation, I also found more modules for delegation on CPAN. 
Like:
