Abstract
Moose is a post-modern Object-Oriented Programming system for Perl 5. It was written since its originator (Stevan Little) was jealous of the capabilities that Perl 6 provided in regards to OOP, and so instead of switching to Ruby, he worked on developing a similar system for Perl 5. Moose drew inspiration from the Object Oriented Programming capabilities of many languages such as Perl 6, Smalltalk, Common Lisp (CLOS), Ruby, Java, OCaml and other languages, while remaining faithful to its Perl 5 roots.
