[MOBY-dev] get datatype information at runtime

[Biczok Rudolf]

Hello MOBY com,

I'm working with the Perl-Moses package and I want to implement some
functionality which converts us internal perl objects automatically into
BioMOBY objects.

But I don't really know how to get information about a BioMOBY datatype
at the runtime, because every generate Package handles these attributes
in an abstract why:

my %_allowed =
    (
         id         => undef,
         namespace  => undef,
         provision  => {type => 'MOSES::MOBY::Data::ProvisionInformation'},
         xrefs      => {type => 'MOSES::MOBY::Data::Xref', is_array => 1},
         primitive  => {type => MOSES::MOBY::Base->BOOLEAN},
     );

.. which means I can't access these information from a other package.

So is there any mechanism that allows me to get these suff without calling the MOBY-Central
(just an static method)?

Best wishes,
Rudolf
