I think you and I are on different trips here. I don't
know what the real story is though.
I don't see why Perl needs interfaces in any form, they're just there to satisfy the compiler in statically typed languages, aren't they?
I think of roles as reuseable partial classes. So they add generic behaviour, customized by the state accessors they use (or metadata). I'm more going from the paper than A12, though.
