It provides an alias parameter for C to generate aliased accessors as well as the standard ones. Attributes can also be initialized in the constructor via their aliased names. You can create more than one alias at once by passing a arrayref: has ip_addr => ( alias => [ qw(ipAddr ip) ], ); =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 alias ALIAS METHODNAME Installs ALIAS as a method that is aliased to the method METHODNAME. =head1 ALIASING VERSUS OTHER MOOSE FEATURES =head2 Aliasing versus inheritance { package Parent; use Moose; use MooseX::Aliases; sub method1 { "A" } alias method2 => "method1"; } { package Child1; use Moose; extends "Parent"; sub method1 { "B" } } { package Child2; use Moose; extends "Parent"; sub method2 { "C" } } In the example above, Child1 overrides the method using its original name (C). As a result, calling C or C returns "B". Child2 overrides the method using its alias (C). As a result, calling C returns "C", but calling C falls through to the parent class, so returns "A". =head2 Aliasing versus method modifiers { package Class1; use Moose; use MooseX::Aliases; sub method1 { "A" } alias method2 => "method1"; around method1 => sub { "B" }; } { package Class2; use Moose; use MooseX::Aliases; sub method1 { "A" } alias method2 => "method1"; around method2 => sub { "B" }; } In the example above, Class1's around modifier modifies the method using its original name. As a result, both C and C return "B". Class2's around modifier modifies the alias, so C returns "B", but C continues to return "A". =head1 BUGS No known bugs.
