[Bioperl-l] Interest in Bio::Community modules

[Florent Angly]

Chris,
Yes, it is exciting to learn something new.
I have developed a bit of code in the last few days in my local git 
repository. Do you think you could create a repository for Bio-Community 
on the Bioperl Github space or is it too soon?
Cheers,
Florent

>>> Re: using Moose and BioPerl, from experience it's a little tricky integrating the two as BioPerl uses perl's simple OO system while Moose allows much more (though it has it's own issues, memory and speed being the top two).  Specifying inheritance from a BioPerl module is a bit trickier, you'll have to wrap the module via MooseX::NonMoose.  Beyond that, I think if you stick with using is-a/has-a based relations for the time being when defining interactions with other BioPerl modules you'll be fine.
