Type::Tie can be used to tie a scalar, array or hash variable to a type constraint. It supports Type::Tiny, Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint and MooseX::Types type constraints (and probably Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint and MouseX::Types, though these are untested).
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Type::Utils qw(enum);
use Type::Tie;
my $scalar;
ttie $scalar, enum ["foo", "bar"];
$scalar = "foo"; # ok
$scalar = "bar"; # ok
$scalar = "baz"; # dies
Update: note though that tied scalars are significantly slower than untied. So an idea might be to tie your scalars in your development environment, and keep them untied in production. This can be achieved using something like:
use constant DEBUG => !!$ENV{DEVELOPMENT_SERVER};
my $scalar;
ttie $scalar, enum ["foo", "bar"] if DEBUG;
package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
