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

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
