I'm new to Moose, and am just trying to get a handle on the basics, but I can't get enum to work. I would have thought that these two would have the same result. The subtype works but the enum is letting me set sex as any string. Any hints on what I'm doing wrong? 
package Person;
use Moose;
use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
subtype 'Gender' => as 'Str' => where { /^(female|male)$/ };
has sex     => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Gender' );

package Person;
use Moose;
use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
enum Gender => qw(female male);
has sex     => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Gender' );
