  Description     : Perl module providing type constraints and coercions

Specio provides classes for representing type constraints and coercion,
along with the syntactic sugar for declaring them.

This distribution ships with a set of builtin types representing the types
provided by the Perl interpreter itself.

Note that this is not a proper type system for Perl. Nothing in this
distribution will magically make the Perl interpreter start checking a value's
type on assignment to a variable.

Specio is a new dependency for libdatetime-perl.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
