Introduction

What is libmoox-struct-perl

libmoox-struct-perl is:

MooX::Struct allows you to create cheap struct-like classes for your data using Moo.

While similar in spirit to MooseX::Struct and Class::Struct, MooX::Struct has a somewhat different usage pattern. Rather than providing you with a “struct” keyword which can be used to define structs, you define all the structs as part of the “use” statement. This means they happen at compile time.

A struct is just an “anonymous” Moo class. MooX::Struct creates this class for you, and installs a lexical alias for it in your namespace. Thus your module can create a “Point3D” struct, and some other module can too, and they won’t interfere with each other. All struct classes inherit from MooX::Struct.
