## NAME

MooseX::Types::LaxNum - A LaxNum type which provides the loose behavior of Moose's Num pre-2.10

## VERSION

version 0.04

## SYNOPSIS

```
   #!/usr/bin/env perl
   use strict;
   use warnings;
   package Foo {
       use Moose;
       use MooseX::Types::LaxNum;
       has 'laxnum', is => 'rw', isa => 'LaxNum';
   }
   my $foo = Foo->new( laxnum => '1234' );
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"LaxNum"` accepts everything for which "looks\_like\_number" in Scalar::Util return true. It can be used to get the old behaviour of `"Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Num"`, since Num has been changed to be more strict.
