       This class provides a wrapper and methods for interacting with scalar strings.

       Data::Perl::Role::String - Wrapping class for Perl scalar strings.

       •   new($value)

           Constructs  a  new  Data::Perl::String  object,  optionally  initialized  to $value if passed in, and
           returns it.

       •   inc

           Increments the value stored in this slot using the magical string autoincrement operator.  Note  that
           Perl  doesn't  provide analogous behavior in "--", so "dec" is not available. This method returns the
           new value.

           This method does not accept any arguments.

       •   append($string)

           Appends to the string, like ".=", and returns the new value.

           This method requires a single argument.

       •   prepend($string)

           Prepends to the string and returns the new value.

           This method requires a single argument.

       •   replace($pattern,$replacement)

           Performs a regexp substitution ("s" in perlop). There is no way to provide the  "g"  flag,  but  code
           references  will be accepted for the replacement, causing the regex to be modified with a single "e".
           "/smxi" can be applied using the "qr" operator. This method returns the new value.

           This method requires two arguments.

       •   match($pattern)

           Runs the regex against the string and returns the matching value(s).

           This method requires a single argument.

       •   chop

           Just like "chop" in perlfunc. This method returns the chopped character.

           This method does not accept any arguments.

       •   chomp

           Just like "chomp" in perlfunc. This method returns the number of characters removed.

           This method does not accept any arguments.

       •   clear

           Sets the string to the empty string (not the value passed to "default").

           This method does not have a defined return value.

           This method does not accept any arguments.

       •   length

           Just like "length" in perlfunc, returns the length of the string.

       •   substr

           This acts just like "substr" in perlfunc. When called as a writer, it returns the substring that  was
           replaced, just like the Perl builtin.

           This method requires at least one argument, and accepts no more than three.

       •   Data::Perl

       •   MooX::HandlesVia

         use Data::Perl qw/string/;

         my $string = string("foo\n");

         $string->chomp; # returns 1, $string == "foo"
