Dear Perl Monks,

I am trying to use the new MooseX::Declare syntax, in conjunction with Moose subtypes. Here is my code:

use strict;
use v5.10;

use MooseX::Declare;
use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

subtype 'PositiveInt'
    => as 'Int'
    => where { $_ > 0 }
    => message { "Number '$_' is not positive" };
    

class BankAccount {
    use MooseX::StrictConstructor;
    
    has balance => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw', default => 0 );
    
    method deposit ( PositiveInt :$amount ) {
        $self->balance( $self->balance + $amount );
    }
}


my $a = BankAccount->new( balance => 100 );

$a->deposit( amount => 50 );

say $a->balance;

This code gives the following error when executed:

'PositiveInt' could not be parsed to a type constraint - maybe you nee
+d to pre-declare the type with class_type at /home/moose/perl5/lib/pe
+rl5/MooseX/Declare/Syntax/MethodDeclaration.pm line 40

I haven't been able to find a class_type() method in the MooseX::Declare documentation. Could someone enlighten me about what should be done ?

Thank you in advance

• 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).
