.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
In this recipe, we show how a role can be applied to an object. In
this specific case, we are giving an employee managerial
responsibilities.
.PP
Applying a role to an object is simple. The Moose::Meta::Role
object provides an \f(CW\*(C`apply\*(C'\fR method. This method will do the right
thing when given an object instance.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& MyApp::Role::Job::Manager\->meta\->apply($lisa);
.Ve
.PP
We could also use the \f(CW\*(C`apply_all_roles\*(C'\fR function from Moose::Util.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& apply_all_roles( $person, MyApp::Role::Job::Manager\->meta );
.Ve
.PP
The main advantage of using \f(CW\*(C`apply_all_roles\*(C'\fR is that it can be used
to apply more than one role at a time.
.PP
We could also pass parameters to the role we're applying:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& MyApp::Role::Job::Manager\->meta\->apply(
\& $lisa,
\& \-alias => { assign_work => \*(Aqget_off_your_lazy_behind\*(Aq },
\& );
.Ve
.PP
We saw examples of how method exclusion and alias working in
Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Restartable_AdvancedComposition.
.SH "CONCLUSION"
.IX Header "CONCLUSION"
Applying a role to an object instance is a useful tool for adding
behavior to existing objects. In our example, it is effective used to
model a promotion.
.PP
It can also be useful as a sort of controlled monkey-patching for
existing code, particularly non-Moose code. For example, you could
create a debugging role and apply it to an object at runtime.
