DESCRIPTION

There are a few common values that often appear when defining attributes in Marlin (and Moo and Moose)! This module exports constants for them so they can be used as barewords.

If you add the -lexical export tag, everything will be exported as lexical keywords.

String constants for is

Export these with use Marlin::Util -attr or use Marlin::Util -all.

ro

rw

rwp

lazy

bare

Boolean constants

Export these with use Marlin::Util -bool or use Marlin::Util -all.

true

false
