Type::Tiny is probably best known as a way of having Moose-like type constraints in Moo, but it can be used for so much more. This is the second in a series of posts showing other things you can use…
What is a Bool?
Perl allows pretty much any value to be evaluated in a boolean context: if ($something) { … } No matter what $something is, it will safely evaluate to either true or false. (With the exceptions of a few edge cases…
