What is libmoose-perl
libmoose-perl is:
Moose is an extension of the Perl 5 object system. The main goal of Moose is to make Perl 5 Object Oriented programming easier, more consistent, and less tedious. With Moose you can think more about what you want to do and less about the mechanics of OOP.
Additionally, Moose is built on top of Class::MOP, which is a metaclass system for Perl 5. This means that Moose not only makes building normal Perl 5 objects better, but it provides the power of metaclass programming as well.
Moose also conveniently manages all attributes (including inherited ones) that are defined, but also provides facilities for properly initializing instance slots, setting defaults where appropriate and performing any necessary type constraint checking or coercion.
More details about the structure of Moose as well as its features can be found in the ever-expanding Moose::Cookbook document.
