coerce => 1

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.

ArrayRefOfStringlike

"ArrayRefStringlike" is a subtype of "ArrayRef[Str]". It can coerce "ArrayRefOfStringable" objects into an arrayref of strings.

ArrayRefOfStringable

"ArrayRefOfStringable" is a subtype of "ArrayRef[Object]" where the objects have overloaded stringification.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thank you to Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsa°ker for the idea on IRC that led to this module.
