Am I missing something here? That's applying a role to an instance of a class, not the class itself, and thus *should* create a new anonymous class. > To forcefully add a role to a class at a distance during runtime, use > a class object call (see Moose::Meta::Class for more about these > APIs): > > ^Dog.add_role(^Catlike); That's more of what I was thinking, but where is this documented? I can't find it in http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/syn/S12.html. I see it in the Moose docs, but is this in Perl 6? I thought it was.
