NAME
Specio::Library::Perl - Implements type constraint objects for some common Perl language things
VERSION
version 0.49
DESCRIPTION
This library provides some additional string types for common cases.
PackageName
A valid package name. Unlike the ClassName constraint from the Specio::Library::Builtins library, this package does not need to be loaded.
This type does allow Unicode characters.
ModuleName
Same as PackageName.
DistName
A valid distribution name like DBD-Pg Basically this is the same as a package name with the double-colons replaced by dashes. Note that there are some historical distribution names that don't fit this pattern, like CGI.pm.
This type does allow Unicode characters.
Identifier
An Identifier is something that could be used as a symbol name or other identifier (filehandle, directory handle, subroutine name, format name, or label). It's what you put after the sigil (dollar sign, at sign, percent sign) in a variable name. Generally, it's a bunch of word characters not starting with a digit.
This type does allow Unicode characters.
SafeIdentifier
This is just like an Identifier but it excludes the single-character variables underscore (_), a< and b, as these are special variables to the Perl interpreter.
LaxVersionStr and StrictVersionStr
Lax and strict version strings use the is_lax and is_strict methods from version to check if the given string would be a valid lax or strict version. version::Internals covers the details but basically: lax versions are everything you may do, and strict omit many of the usages best avoided.
CREDITS
