94 # ABSTRACT: Type constraints which can take a parameter (ArrayRef)
103 This class represents a parameterizable type constraint. This is a
104 type constraint like C<ArrayRef> or C<HashRef>, that can be
105 parameterized and made more specific by specifying a contained
106 type. For example, instead of just an C<ArrayRef> of anything, you can
107 specify that is an C<ArrayRef[Int]>.
109 A parameterizable constraint should not be used as an attribute type
110 constraint. Instead, when parameterized it creates a
111 L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized> which should be used.
115 C<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable> is a subclass of
116 L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
120 This class is intentionally not documented because the API is
121 confusing and needs some work.
125 See L<Moose/BUGS> for details on reporting bugs.
