It does a lot to clean up the inconsistent mess that can be Perl’s default OO system. Additionally it brings things that don’t exist in either Ruby or Python (yet) to the table. Things like a system of TypeConstraints, a MetaObject protocol (though Python has some metaprogramming stuff, I’m biased by thinking that Moose’s is better), and an implementation of Smalltalk style Traits called Roles.
