  use MooseX::Types::Stringlike qw/Stringlike Stringable ArrayRefOfStringlike ArrayRefOfStringable/;

  has path => (
    is => 'ro',
    isa => Stringlike,
    coerce => 1
  );

  has stringable_object => (
    is => 'ro',
    isa => Stringable,
  );

  has paths => (
    is => 'ro',
    isa => ArrayRefOfStringlike,
    coerce => 1
  );

  has stringable_objects => (
    is => 'ro',
    isa => ArrayRefOfStringable,
  );

DESCRIPTION
This module provides a more general version of the "Str" type. If coercions are enabled, it will accepts objects that overload stringification and coerces them into strings.

SUBTYPES
This module uses MooseX::Types to define the following subtypes.

  Stringlike
"Stringlike" is a subtype of "Str". It can coerce "Stringable" objects into a string.

  Stringable
"Stringable" is a subtype of "Object" where the object has overloaded stringification.

  ArrayRefOfStringlike
"ArrayRefStringlike" is a subtype of "ArrayRef[Str]". It can coerce "ArrayRefOfStringable" objects into an arrayref of strings.

  ArrayRefOfStringable
"ArrayRefOfStringable" is a subtype of "ArrayRef[Object]" where the objects have overloaded stringification.
