in thread MooseX::Declare and overload

There is still a lot of black magic in MooseX::Declare interfering, but if you use use overload '""' => 'to_string'; instead of referencing it symbolically, it should work if to_string is defined as either a sub or a method. It will also allow subclasses to override the stringification behavior.

    You hit the nail on the head. 
    class InDeclareString is dirty {
    use overload '""' => 'to_string';
    has val => (is => 'rw');
    method to_string { sprintf "(%s)", $self->val }
};

    works perfectly.

    Many thanks
