NAME
       MooseX::Types::Perl - Moose types that check against Perl syntax

VERSION
       version 0.101341

SYNOPSIS
	 use MooseX::Types::Perl qw(
	   DistName

	   ModuleName
	   PackageName

	   Identifier
	   SafeIdentifier

	   LaxVersionStr
	   StrictVersionStr
	   VersionObject
	 );

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

TYPES
   ModuleName
   PackageName
       These types are identical, and expect a string that could be a package or module name.  That's basically a bunch of identifiers stuck
       together with double-colons.  One key quirk is that parts of the package name after the first may begin with digits.

       The use of an apostrophe as a package separator is not permitted.

   DistName
       The DistName type checks for a string like "MooseX-Types-Perl", the sort of thing used to name CPAN distributions.  In general, it's like
       the more familiar ModuleName, but with hyphens instead of double-colons.

       In reality, a few distribution names may not match this pattern -- most famously, "CGI.pm" is the name of the distribution that contains
       CGI.  These exceptions are few and far between, and deciding what a "LaxDistName" type would look like has not seemed worth it, yet.

   Identifier
       An Identifier is something that could be used as a variable name.  Generally, it's a bunch of alphanumeric characters not starting with a
       digit.

       Although Perl identifiers may contain non-ASCII characters in some circumstances, this type does not allow it.  A "UnicodeIdentifier" type
       may be added in the future.

   SafeIdentifier
       SafeIdentifiers are just like Identifiers, but omit the single-letter variables underscore, a, and b, as these have special significance.

   LaxVersionStr
   StrictVersionStr
       Lax and strict version strings use the is_lax and is_strict methods from "version" to check if the given string would be a valid lax or
       strict version.	version::Internals covers the details but basically:  lax versions are everything you may do, and strict omit many of the
       usages best avoided.

   VersionObject
       Just for good measure, this type is included to check if a value is a version object.  Coercions from LaxVersionStr (and thus
       StrictVersionStr) are provided.
