Roles are a new way of looking at code-reuse which is more
grainular then classes but safer then traditional mix-ins.
Roles are based on Smalltalk Traits and are a major part
of Perl 6, but you can start using them right now in Perl 5
with Moose. In this talk we take you beyond the contrived
examples and talk about real world problems and how roles
can be leveraged to provide more flexible and re-useable
solutions.
