79 MooseX::Types::Path::Class creates common L<Moose> types,
80 coercions and option specifications useful for dealing
81 with L<Path::Class> objects as L<Moose> attributes.
83 Coercions (see L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints>) are made
84 from both 'Str' and 'ArrayRef' to both L<Path::Class::Dir> and
85 L<Path::Class::File> objects. If you have L<MooseX::Getopt> installed,
86 the Getopt option type ("=s") will be added for both
87 L<Path::Class::Dir> and L<Path::Class::File>.
92 None of these are exported by default. They are provided via
99 These exports can be used instead of the full class names. Example:
103 use MooseX::Types::Path::Class qw(Dir File);
119 Note that there are no quotes around Dir or File.
121 =item is_Dir($value), is_File($value)
123 Returns true or false based on whether $value is a valid Dir or File.
125 =item to_Dir($value), to_File($value)
127 Attempts to coerce $value to a Dir or File. Returns the coerced value
128 or false if the coercion failed.
