Hi,
Bit of a random question - around the code in some Metafield modules.

From these two examples:

https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/MetaField/Id.pm#L26-L31
https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/MetaField/Date.pm#L25-L37
Has there been any consideration to a re-write of the code-base - moving to a modern OO framework - or possibly a complete MVC system? 

I'm thinking, in particular of Moose & Catalyst.
All the database interactions would become SO much easier with Moose, and creations of objects & sub-objects is handled for you.
