There isn't one, because this doesn't make much sense. There's really not 
any huge benefit to having a Moosified version for end users. The benefits 
to using Moose are primarily for the original author. If Moose makes your 
life easier, you should consider using it.

Having two implementations of the same module doesn't seem useful.

Generally speaking, naming modules after a specific implementation choice 
is a bad idea. People care about what it does, not how.

The big exception is when you provide both a pure Perl and XS 
implementation of a module, but even then you can use tools like 
Module::Implementation to present a single API to the world.
