NAME MooseX::Types::Stringlike - Moose type constraints for strings or string-like objects VERSION version 0.001 SYNOPSIS package Foo; use Moose; use MooseX::Types::Stringlike qw/Stringlike Stringable/; has path => ( is => 'ro', isa => Stringlike, coerce => 1 ); has stringable_object => ( is => 'ro', isa => Stringable, ); DESCRIPTION This module provides a more general version of the "Str" type. If coercions are enabled, it will accepts objects that overload stringification and coerces them into strings. SUBTYPES This module uses MooseX::Types to define the following subtypes. Stringlike "Stringlike" is a subtype of "Str". It can coerce "Stringable" objects into a string. Stringable "Stringable" is a subtype of "Object" where the object has overloaded stringification.
