Re: [mh] Rewriting some classes using Moose and Catalyst

[Rick B. (GM) <ric...@gm...>]

I've been looking at Moose and POE for another project I'm working on. I
like the idea of Moose, but have read that it can be a bit bloated,
heavy and sluggish? I don't know cause I've not used it for anything but
can anyone recommend a Moose built app to run for evaluation? 

I've always run MH on very energy efficient computers, which often had
modest horsepower. The 500Mhz machine could "lag" a little with the tts
voice prompts, but overall perf was fine. Now on a 1.6Ghz atom things
are pretty swift, and utilization is down (despite the server doing more
tasks).

Does Moose present the same kind of overhead that Java seemed to present
in its' earlier incarnations? I disliked\avoided Java because of that
and the MS\Sun incompatibilities\confusion in the early days. Always
liked PERL cause it didn't seem to have the bloat.
