I was trying to alias a command while working with roles and found that it was not working. I got the example code from: Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3 MyApp::Role::Job::Manager->meta->apply( $lisa, -alias => { assign_work => 'get_off_your_lazy_behind' }, ); This simply does not work. Can't locate object method "get_off_your_lazy_behind" via package ... Looking at working code I found that the '-alias' command was used as 'alias'. When I changed the example code to MyApp::Role::Job::Manager->meta->apply( $lisa, alias => { assign_work => 'get_off_your_lazy_behind' }, ); Things where working as expected. I also tested this with Recipe2 and with '-exclude vs exclude' Same result. with the '-' it does not work, without it it works fine. Please update the documentation in the example code.

We added -alias recently (version 0.89_01), with the intention of eventually replacing 'alias' with it (similarly for excludes). Both 'alias' and '-alias' should work at the moment (and they do for me), are you sure you're running a new enough version? -doy

I'm running version 0.87 of Moose. With version 0.87 of Moose::Util on perl v5.8.7 built for sun-solaris Looks like I'm running the wrong version of Moose. I will upgrade, thanks.
