# MooseX::Role::WithOverloading(3pm)

(DEPRECATED) Roles which support overloading

## NAME

MooseX::Role::WithOverloading - (DEPRECATED) Roles which support overloading

## VERSION

version 0.17

## SYNOPSIS

```
    package MyRole;
    use MooseX::Role::WithOverloading;
    use overload
        q{""}    => 'as_string',
        fallback => 1;
    has message => (
        is       => 'rw',
        isa      => 'Str',
    );
    sub as_string { shift->message }
    package MyClass;
    use Moose;
    use namespace::autoclean;
    with 'MyRole';
    package main;
    my $i = MyClass->new( message => 'foobar' );
    print $i; # Prints 'foobar'
```

## DESCRIPTION

MooseX::Role::WithOverloading allows you to write a Moose::Role which defines overloaded operators and allows those overload methods to be composed into the classes/roles/instances it's compiled to, where plain Moose::Roles would lose the overloading.

Starting with Moose version 2.1300, this module is no longer necessary, as the functionality is available already. In that case, `"use MooseX::Role::WithOverloading"` behaves identically to `"use Moose::Role"`.

## DEPRECATION NOTICE

This module is marked as deprecated, as starting with Moose version 2.1300, the functionality provided here is now built-in to Moose. You only need to use this module if you are using an older Moose (but please upgrade!).
