It's overkill, but not for the reasons you mention. Moose is a class builder and meta object protocol. The Data::Auto::Objectify::Thing has nothing to do with OO, really. It just wants to use OO syntax to manipulate a data structure. There are definitely no classes involved, so using Moose would be in appropriate. (Yes, you could build a Moose class from an existing data structure, and even modify the class as you modify the data structure... but why?) > Or you could try Mouse? "use Squirrel"!
