Bug#259586: O: libclass-multimethods-perl -- Support multimethods and subroutine overloading in Perl
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of libclass-multimethods-perl, Sean 'Shaleh'
Perry <shaleh@debian.org>, is apparently not active anymore.
Therefore, I orphan this package now. If you want to be the new
maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: Support multimethods and subroutine overloading in Perl
Sometimes Perl's standard polymorphic method dispatch mechanism isn't
sophisticated enough to cope with the complexities of finding the right
method to handle a given situation.
.
Generally speaking, multiple dispatch is needed whenever two or more objects
belonging to different class hierarchies are going to interact, and we need to
do different things depending on the combination of actual types of those
objects. Typical applications that need this kind of ability include graphical
user interfaces, image processing libraries, mixed-precision numerical
computation systems, and most types of simulations.
Justification: Most packages out of date, plenty of NMUs, email has bounced
for ages
