How has support for Mouse changed across recent Perl versions?

The support for Mouse, a lightweight object system for Perl, has seen several changes across recent Perl versions. As Perl continues to evolve, Mouse adapts to provide improved performance, compatibility, and new features that enhance the object-oriented programming experience.

Mouse was designed as a minimalistic alternative to Moose, aimed at reducing the overhead associated with Moose's more extensive features. With the introduction of Perl 5.34 and beyond, Mouse has made strides to maintain compatibility, while also improving its integration with core Perl features.

Developers migrating from Moose to Mouse benefit from the performance advantages without sacrificing the ability to define classes, create attributes, and utilize roles seamlessly. Perl’s ongoing enhancements further solidify Mouse's position as a viable choice for developers seeking efficiency.
