type
+constraints and coercion, along with syntax sugar for declaring them.  Note 
that

+magically make the Perl interpreter start checking a value's type on assignment
+to a variable. In fact, there's no built-in way to apply a type to a variable 
at
+all.  Instead, you can explicitly check a value against a type, and optionally
+coerce values to that type.")
