Since when does Perl 5 use CLOS?

Regarding R and Raku I cannot say anything, but the CPAN package for OOP extensions I used back in 2000's wasn't it.

It's not about using CLOS, since that is Lisp specific and the full thing incl. MOP is largish.

But Moose is largely influenced by CLOS.

https://www.perl.org/about/whitepapers/perl-object-oriented....

some comment here on Hackernews :

"Moose is back-ported Perl6 objects, which borrows heavily from CLOS and the concepts introduced in the Smalltalk traits paper. This is a bit of a simplification of the history, but the ancestry is present, documented and obvious."

Fair enough, still one option among many others.

A quick search gave me Moose, Moo, Class::Accessor, Class::Tiny.

So kind of hard to make it the Perl OOP way.
