37         my $lisa = Employee->new( name => 'Lisa' );
38         MyApp::Role::Job::Manager->meta->apply($lisa);
39
40         my $homer = Employee->new( name => 'Homer' );
41         my $bart  = Employee->new( name => 'Bart' );
42         my $marge = Employee->new( name => 'Marge' );

DESCRIPTION

48       In this recipe, we show how a role can be applied to an object. In this
49       specific case, we are giving an employee managerial responsibilities.
50
51       Applying a role to an object is simple. The Moose::Meta::Role object
52       provides an "apply" method. This method will do the right thing when
53       given an object instance.
54
55         MyApp::Role::Job::Manager->meta->apply($lisa);
56
57       We could also use the "apply_all_roles" function from Moose::Util.
58
59         apply_all_roles( $person, MyApp::Role::Job::Manager->meta );
60
61       The main advantage of using "apply_all_roles" is that it can be used to
62       apply more than one role at a time.
63
64       We could also pass parameters to the role we're applying:
65
66         MyApp::Role::Job::Manager->meta->apply(
67             $lisa,
68             -alias => { assign_work => 'get_off_your_lazy_behind' },
69         );
70
71       We saw examples of how method exclusion and alias working in
72       Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Restartable_AdvancedComposition.
73

CONCLUSION

75       Applying a role to an object instance is a useful tool for adding
76       behavior to existing objects. In our example, it is effective used to
77       model a promotion.
78
79       It can also be useful as a sort of controlled monkey-patching for
80       existing code, particularly non-Moose code. For example, you could
81       create a debugging role and apply it to an object at runtime.
