.SH "NAME"
Specio::Library::Perl \- Implements type constraint objects for some common Perl language things
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
version 0.47
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This library provides some additional string types for common cases.
.SS "PackageName"
.IX Subsection "PackageName"
A valid package name. Unlike the \f(CW\*(C`ClassName\*(C'\fR constraint from the
Specio::Library::Builtins library, this package does not need to be loaded.
.PP
This type does allow Unicode characters.
.SS "ModuleName"
.IX Subsection "ModuleName"
Same as \f(CW\*(C`PackageName\*(C'\fR.
.SS "DistName"
.IX Subsection "DistName"
A valid distribution name like \f(CW\*(C`DBD\-Pg\*(C'\fR 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 \f(CW\*(C`CGI.pm\*(C'\fR.
.PP
This type does allow Unicode characters.
.SS "Identifier"
.IX Subsection "Identifier"
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.
.PP
This type does allow Unicode characters.
.SS "SafeIdentifier"
.IX Subsection "SafeIdentifier"
This is just like an \f(CW\*(C`Identifier\*(C'\fR but it excludes the single-character
variables underscore (\f(CW\*(C`_\*(C'\fR), \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR< and \f(CW\*(C`b\*(C'\fR, as these are special variables to
the Perl interpreter.
.SS "LaxVersionStr and StrictVersionStr"
.IX Subsection "LaxVersionStr and StrictVersionStr"
Lax and strict version strings use the is_lax and
is_strict methods from \f(CW\*(C`version\*(C'\fR 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.
.SS "\s-1CREDITS\s0"
.IX Subsection "CREDITS"
Much of the code and docs for this library comes from MooseX::Types::Perl,
written by Ricardo \s-1SIGNES\s0 <rjbs@cpan.org>.

I am also usually active on \s-1IRC\s0 as 'autarch' on \f(CW\*(C`irc://irc.perl.org\*(C'\fR.
