Alright, thanks. I guess my only question left, then, is why would you use something like handles => 'MyURIRole' over handles => qr/.*/? The latter seems a lot more useful and it does allow me to extend the URI class with my own methods very easily and which seems enormously useful. However, I found it very odd that after doing a lot of searching on this, there is only one tutorial I could find that even mentions the handles => qr/.*/ method for delegating. The omission from the documentation of this method for delegating makes me wonder if it's advisable to do (and hence why I looked into using a more "official" way by using a role name instead).
Overall, it just seems the documentation on delegation is lacking a bit, especially for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of experience with OO patterns and is more or less just following recipes without understanding the chemistry behind the cooking. Maybe I should reach out to the module authors? What do you think?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
