MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator(3)

NAME
MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator - Wraps Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint objects with added features

VERSION
version 0.46

DESCRIPTION
This is a decorator object that contains an underlying type constraint. We use this to control access to the type constraint and to add some features.

METHODS
This class defines the following methods.

  new
Old school instantiation

  __type_constraint ($type_constraint)
Set/Get the type_constraint.

  "isa"
handle "$self->isa" since "AUTOLOAD" can't - this tries both the type constraint, and for a class type, the class.

  can
handle $self->can since AUTOLOAD can't.

  _throw_error
properly delegate error messages

  DESTROY
We might need it later

  AUTOLOAD
Delegate to the decorator target, unless this is a class type, in which case it will try to delegate to the type object, then if that fails try the class. The method 'new' is special cased to only be permitted on the class; if there is no class, or it does not provide a new method, an exception will be thrown.
