NAME
       [Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Devel%3A%3ATypeTiny%3A%3APerl56Compat/markdown) - shims to allow [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) 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](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown)'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.
