Specio::Library::Perl - Implements type constraint objects for some common Perl language things
version 0.47
This library provides some additional string types for common cases.
A valid package name. Unlike the ClassName constraint from the Specio::Library::Builtins library, this package does not need to be loaded.
ClassName
This type does allow Unicode characters.
Same as PackageName.
PackageName
A valid distribution name like DBD-Pg Basically this is the same as a package name with the double-colons replaced by dashes. Note that there are some historical distribution names that don't fit this pattern, like CGI.pm.
DBD-Pg
CGI.pm
An Identifier is something that could be used as a symbol name or other identifier (filehandle, directory handle, subroutine name, format name, or label). It's what you put after the sigil (dollar sign, at sign, percent sign) in a variable name. Generally, it's a bunch of word characters not starting with a digit.
This is just like an Identifier but it excludes the single-character variables underscore (_), a< and b, as these are special variables to the Perl interpreter.
Identifier
_
a
b
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.

Much of the code and docs for this library comes from MooseX::Types::Perl, written by Ricardo SIGNES <rjbs@cpan.org>.
