# Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat(3pm)

shims to allow Type::Tiny to run on Perl 5.6.x

## NAME

Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat - shims to allow Type::Tiny to run on Perl 5.6.x

## STATUS

This module is considered part of Type-Tiny's internals. It is not covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

## DESCRIPTION

This is not considered part of Type::Tiny's public API.

Currently this module just has one job: it patches B to export a `"perlstring"` function, as this was only added in Perl 5.8.0.
