Version

version 0.17

Overview

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!).
