-it under the same terms as Perl itself.
+A structured type constraint is a standard container L</Moose> type constraint,
+such as an arrayref or hashref, which has been enhanced to allow you to
+explicitely name all the allow type constraints inside the structure. The
+generalized form is:
+
+ TypeConstraint[TypeParameters]
+
+Where TypeParameters is a list of type constraints.
+
+This type library enables structured type constraints. These work in a similar
+way to parameterized constraints that are built into the core Moose types,
+except that you are allowed to define the container's entire structure. For
+example, you could define a parameterized constraint like so:
+
+ subtype HashOfInts,
+ as Hashref[Int];
+
+which would constraint a value to something like [1,2,3,...] and so on. On the
+other hand, a structured type constrain explicitly names all it's allowed type
+parameter constraints. For the example:
+
+ subtype StringFollowedByInt,
+ as Tuple[Str,Int];
+
+would constrain it's value to something like ['hello', 111];
+
+These structures can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. You can even
+combine various structured, parameterized and simple constraints all together:
+
+ subtype crazy,
+ as Tuple[
+ Int,
+ Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int],
+ ArrayRef[Int]
+ ];
+
+Which would match "[1, {name=>'John', age=>25},[10,11,12]]". Please notice how
+the type parameters
+
+You should exercise some care as to whether or not your complex structured
+constraints would be better off contained by a real object as in the following
+example:
+
+ package MyApp::MyStruct;
+ use Moose;
+
+ has $_ for qw(name age);
+
+ package MyApp::MyClass;
+ use Moose;
+
+ has person => (isa=>'MyApp::MyStruct');
+
+ my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(
+ person=>MyApp::MyStruct->new(name=>'John', age=>39),
+ );
+
+This method may take some additional time to setup but will give you more
+flexibility. However, structured constraints are highly compatible with this
+method, granting some interesting possibilities for coercion. Try:
+
+ subtype 'MyStruct',
+ as 'MyApp::MyStruct';
+
+ coerce 'MyStruct',
+ from (Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int]),
+ via {
+ MyApp::MyStruct->new(%$_);
+ },
+ from (Dict[last_name=>Str, first_name=>Str, dob=>DateTime]),
+ via {
+ my $name = $_->{first_name} .' '. $_->{last_name};
+ my $age = DateTime->now - $_->{dob};
+ MyApp::MyStruct->new(
+ name=>$name,
+ age=>$age->years );
+ };
+
+=head2 Subtyping a structured subtype
+
+You need to exercise some care when you try to subtype a structured type
+as in this example:
+
+ subtype Person,
+ as Dict[name=>Str, age=>iIt];
+
+ subtype FriendlyPerson,
+ as Person[name=>Str, age=>Int, totalFriends=>Int];
+
+This will actually work BUT you have to take care that the subtype has a
+structure that does not contradict the structure of it's parent. For now the
+above works, but I will probably clarify how this works at a future point, so
+it's recommended to avoid (should not realy be needed so much anyway). For
+now this is supported in an EXPERIMENTAL way. In the future we will probably
+clarify how to augment existing structured types.
+
+=head2 Coercions
+
+Coercions currently work for 'one level' deep. That is you can do:
+
+ subtype Person,
+ as Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int];
+
+ subtype Fullname,
+ as Dict[first=>Str, last=>Str];
+
+ coerce Person,
+ from BlessedPersonObject,
+ via { +{name=>$_->name, age=>$_->age} },
+ from ArrayRef,
+ via { +{name=>$_->[0], age=>$_->[1] },
+ from Dict[fullname=>Fullname, dob=>DateTime],
+ via {
+ my $age = $_->dob - DateTime->now;
+ +{
+ name=> $_->{fullname}->{first} .' '. $_->{fullname}->{last},
+ age=>$age->years
+ }
+ };
+
+And that should just work as expected. However, if there are any 'inner'
+coercions, such as a coercion on 'Fullname' or on 'DateTime', that coercion
+won't currently get activated.
+
+Please see the test '07-coerce.t' for a more detailed example.
+
+=head1 TYPE CONSTRAINTS
+
+This type library defines the following constraints.
+
+=head2 Tuple[@constraints]
+
+This defines an arrayref based constraint which allows you to validate a specific
+list of constraints. For example:
+
+ Tuple[Int,Str]; ## Validates [1,'hello']
+ Tuple[Str|Object, Int]; ##Validates ['hello', 1] or [$object, 2]
+
+=head2 Dict [%constraints]
+
+This defines a hashref based constraint which allowed you to validate a specific
+hashref. For example:
+
+ Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int]; ## Validates {name=>'John', age=>39}

-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This module packages several L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints> with coercions,
-designed to work with the L<DateTime> suite of objects.
-
-=head1 CONSTRAINTS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item L<DateTime>
-
-A class type for L<DateTime>.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item from C<Num>
-
-Uses L<DateTime/from_epoch>. Floating values will be used for subsecond
-percision, see L<DateTime> for details.
-
-=item from C<HashRef>
-
-Calls L<DateTime/new> with the hash entries as arguments.
-
-=back
-
-=item L<Duration>
-
-A class type for L<DateTime::Duration>
-
-=over 4
-
-=item from C<Num>
-
-Uses L<DateTime::Duration/new> and passes the number as the C<seconds> argument.
-
-Note that due to leap seconds, DST changes etc this may not do what you expect.
-For instance passing in C<86400> is not always equivalent to one day, although
-there are that many seconds in a day. See L<DateTime/"How Date Math is Done">
-for more details.
-
-=item from C<HashRef>
-
-Calls L<DateTime::Duration/new> with the hash entries as arguments.
-
-=back
-
-=item L<DateTime::Locale>
-
-A class type for L<DateTime::Locale::root> with the name L<DateTime::Locale>.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item from C<Str>
-
-The string is treated as a language tag (e.g. C<en> or C<he_IL>) and given to
-L<DateTime::Locale/load>.
-
-=item from L<Locale::Maktext>
-
-The C<Locale::Maketext/language_tag> attribute will be used with L<DateTime::Locale/load>.
-
-=item L<DateTime::TimeZone>
-
-A class type for L<DateTime::TimeZone>.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item from C<Str>
-
-Treated as a time zone name or offset. See L<DateTime::TimeZone/USAGE> for more
-details on the allowed values.
-
-Delegates to L<DateTime::TimeZone/new> with the string as the C<name> argument.
