📋 SYNOPSIS

📖 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a string value.

Since Perl does not distinguish between numbers and strings, this module provides an explicit string type for a scalar value.

🧬 ATTRIBUTES

🔹 value

A scalar value, which will be stringified during construction. The default is the empty string.

🛠️ METHODS

📌 TO_JSON

Returns value as a string.

🔄 OVERLOADING

The stringification operator ("") is overloaded to return the value, the full “minimal set” of overloaded operations is provided (per overload documentation) and fallback overloading is enabled.
