NAME

overload::constant - Change stringification behaviour of literals

SYNOPSIS

use overload::constant;

sub integer { "i$^a" }
sub decimal { "d$^a" }
sub radix   { "r$^a" }
sub numish  { "n$^a" }
use overload::constant &integer, &decimal, &radix, &numish;

ok 42      ~~ Str && 42      eq 'i42',      'can overload integer';
ok 0.12    ~~ Str && 0.12    eq 'd0.12',    'can overload decimal';
ok .1e-003 ~~ Str && .1e-003 eq 'd.1e-003', 'can overload decimal in scientific notation';
ok :16<FF> ~~ Str && :16<FF> eq 'r:16<FF>', 'can overload radix';
ok NaN     ~~ Str && NaN     eq 'nNaN',     'can overload other numish things';

DESCRIPTION

It is meant to work a bit like Perl's overload::constant, though it is kind of pre-alpha here.
