DESCRIPTION

27       This library provides Moose types for checking things (mostly strings)
28       against syntax that is, or is a reasonable subset of, Perl syntax.

TYPES

31   ModuleName
32   PackageName
33       These types are identical, and expect a string that could be a package
34       or module name.  That's basically a bunch of identifiers stuck together
35       with double-colons.  One key quirk is that parts of the package name
36       after the first may begin with digits.
37
38       The use of an apostrophe as a package separator is not permitted.
39
40   DistName
41       The DistName type checks for a string like "MooseX-Types-Perl", the
42       sort of thing used to name CPAN distributions.  In general, it's like
43       the more familiar ModuleName, but with hyphens instead of double-
44       colons.
45
46       In reality, a few distribution names may not match this pattern -- most
47       famously, "CGI.pm" is the name of the distribution that contains CGI.
48       These exceptions are few and far between, and deciding what a
49       "LaxDistName" type would look like has not seemed worth it, yet.
50
51   Identifier
52       An Identifier is something that could be used as a symbol name or other
53       identifier (filehandle, directory handle, subroutine name, format name,
54       or label).  It's what you put after the sigil (dollar sign, at sign,
55       percent sign) in a variable name.  Generally, it's a bunch of
56       alphanumeric characters not starting with a digit.
57
58       Although Perl identifiers may contain non-ASCII characters in some
59       circumstances, this type does not allow it.  A "UnicodeIdentifier" type
60       may be added in the future.
61
62   SafeIdentifier
63       SafeIdentifiers are just like Identifiers, but omit the single-letter
64       variables underscore, a, and b, as these have special significance.
65
66   LaxVersionStr
67   StrictVersionStr
68       Lax and strict version strings use the is_lax and is_strict methods
69       from "version" to check if the given string would be a valid lax or
70       strict version.  version::Internals covers the details but basically:
71       lax versions are everything you may do, and strict omit many of the
72       usages best avoided.
73
74   VersionObject
75       Just for good measure, this type is included to check if a value is a
76       version object.  Coercions from LaxVersionStr (and thus
77       StrictVersionStr) are provided.
