Last month I wrote about using Moose's override function to, well, override a superclass's method. Chris Prather on the #moose IRC channel suggested soon after that the around method modifier (or its little sisters before and after) might be a better choice if you're also calling the original method inside. He noted that "at a minimum override only works if you're subclassing, around will apply to composing methods too."
His point was that when you decide to compose roles (also know as traits) instead of or in addition to more traditional inheritance, override simply doesn't work: only a method modifier will do. (And as Graham Knop and Karen Etheridge later remarked on IRC, override isn't even an option if you're using Moo as an alternative to Moose.)
