#DESCRIPTION

This recipe demonstrates how to use Moose to subclass a parent which is not Moose based. This recipe only works if the parent class uses a blessed hash reference for object instances. If your parent is doing something funkier, you should check out MooseX::NonMoose::InsideOut and MooseX::InsideOut.

The meat of this recipe is contained in MooseX::NonMoose, which does all the grunt work for you.
