Moose 0.09_01

on Perl CPAN

This release works in combination with
Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
release because it uses the a new
instance sub-protocol and a fairly
complete Role implementation. It has
not yet been optimized, so it slower
the the previous CPAN version. This
release also lacks good updated docs,
the official release will have updated docs.

  needed to ensure metaclass compatability
