NAME MooseX::Types::Path::Class::MoreCoercions - More powerful coercion than MooseX::Types::Path::Class VERSION version 0.003 SYNOPSIS ### specification of type constraint with coercion package Foo; use Moose; use MooseX::Types::Path::Class::MoreCoercions qw/File AbsDir/; has filename => ( is => 'ro', isa => File, coerce => 1, ); has directory => ( is => 'ro', isa => AbsDir, coerce => 1, ); ### usage in code my $tmp = File::Temp->new; Foo->new( filename => $tmp ); # coerced to Path::Class::File Foo->new( directory => '.' ); # coerced to dir('.')->absolute DESCRIPTION This module extends MooseX::Types::Path::Class with more powerful coercions, including: * coercing objects with overloaded stringification * coercing to absolute paths SUBTYPES This module uses MooseX::Types to define the following subtypes. Dir "Dir" is a subtype of "MooseX::Types::Path::Class::Dir". Objects with overloaded stringification are coerced as strings if coercion is enabled. AbsDir "AbsDir" is a subtype of "Dir" (above). Objects are also coerced to an absolute path. File "File" is a subtype of "MooseX::Types::Path::Class::File". Objects with overloaded stringification are coerced as strings if coercion is enabled. AbsFile "AbsFile" is a subtype of "File" (above). Objects are also coerced to an absolute path. CAVEATS Usage with File::Temp Because an argument is stringified and then coerced into a Path::Class object, no reference to the original File::Temp argument is held. Be sure to hold an external reference to it to avoid immediate cleanup of the object at the end of the enclosing scope.
