.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Generally speaking, you probably don't want to be using this module directly.
Instead use the \f(CW\*(C`lookup\*(C'\fR method from Type::Registry which wraps it.
.SS "Functions"
.IX Subsection "Functions"
.ie n .IP """parse($string)""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWparse($string)\fR" 4
.IX Item "parse($string)"
Parse the type constraint string into something like an \s-1AST.\s0
.Sp
If called in list context, also returns any \*(L"tail\*(R" found on the original string.
.ie n .IP """extract_type($string, $registry)""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWextract_type($string, $registry)\fR" 4
.IX Item "extract_type($string, $registry)"
Compile a type constraint string into a Type::Tiny object.
.Sp
If called in list context, also returns any \*(L"tail\*(R" found on the original string.
.ie n .IP """eval_type($string, $registry)""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWeval_type($string, $registry)\fR" 4
.IX Item "eval_type($string, $registry)"
Compile a type constraint string into a Type::Tiny object.
.Sp
Throws an error if the \*(L"tail\*(R" contains any non-whitespace character.
.SS "Constants"
.IX Subsection "Constants"
The following constants correspond to values returned by \f(CW\*(C`$token\->type\*(C'\fR.
