package Foo;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::Stringlike qw/Stringlike Stringable ArrayRefOfStringlike ArrayRefOfStringable/;

has path => (
  is => 'ro',
  isa => Stringlike,
  coerce => 1
);

has stringable_object => (
  is => 'ro',
  isa => Stringable,
);

has paths => (
  is => 'ro',
  isa => ArrayRefOfStringlike,
  coerce => 1
);

has stringable_objects => (
  is => 'ro',
  isa => ArrayRefOfStringable,
);

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.
