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