types.pm vs. typesafety.pm

dragonchild has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

What's the difference between types and typesafety, other than interface? Is there a reason to use one over the other?

Also, has anyone used either in a real project? What did you think?

Oh man, this is priceless (from the typesafety POD): Tests aren't run automatically - I really need to fix this. I keep running them by hand. It is one big file where each commented-out line gets uncommented one by one. This makes normal testing procedures awkward. I'll have to rig something up. From what I can tell these modules are completely useless to me. If I want to program in Java, I know where to find it! -sam	[reply]
