Alien::Role(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Alien::Role(3) NAME Alien::Role - Extend Alien::Base with roles! VERSION version 2.80 SYNOPSIS package Alien::libfoo; use parent qw( Alien::Base ); use Role::Tiny::With qw( with ); with 'Alien::Role::Dino'; 1; DESCRIPTION The "Alien::Role" namespace is intended for writing roles that can be applied to Alien::Base to extend its functionality. You could of course write subclasses that extend Alien::Base, but then you have to either stick with just one subclass or deal with multiple inheritance! It is recommended that you use Role::Tiny since it can be used on plain old Perl classes which is good since Alien::Base doesn't use anything fancy like Moose or Moo. There is one working example that use this technique that are worth checking out in the event you are interested: Alien::Role::Dino. This class itself doesn't do anything, it just documents the technique.
