A way to do it is with a predicate.
BEGIN {
package Person;
use Moose;
use overload '""' => sub { +shift->show_person }, fallback => 1;
has 'name' =>
is => 'ro',
isa => 'Str',
required => 1;
has 'age' =>
is => 'ro',
isa => 'Str',
predicate => 'has_age';
sub show_person {
my $self = shift;
join(", ",
$self->name,
$self->has_age ? $self->age : "age unknown");
}
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
no Moose;
1;
}
my $person = Person->new({ name => "Bob" });
print $person->show_person, "\n";
print Person->new({ name => "Your Uncle",
age => 93 }), "\n";
