Moose has a special syntax for this, if you don't use it, you are not really using Moose. In your case you could say e.g. (I left use strict / warnings out for brevity):

test.pl 

use Person;
my $p = Person->new(age => 10);
print "Person has age ", $p->age();

[download]
Person.pm 
package Person;

use Moose;
use Types;

has 'age' => (is => 'rw',
              isa => 'AdmissibleAge');

1;

[download]
Types.pm 
package Types;

use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

subtype 'AdmissibleAge'
  => as 'Num'
  => where {$_ >= 0 and $_ <= 99};
  
1;

I like to separate the type constraints in a separate module Types.pm. What I just told you is no news, of course, you can find very good introductions on the Moose homepage, the first aricles I read and which should give you a good start are the ones cited there by Randal L. Schwartz:
