Hi Steve,
Thanks for spotting that typo - just fixed it - v0.06 was released
yestarday (among other fixes/improvements).
Regarding the coercion: types are stored as objects if they can cleanly
stringify to valid XML type.
So xs:decimal can be stored as Math::BigFloat, because the module itself
stringifies nicely, but DateTime stringifies to ISO8601, which isn't
valid for most of xs:* types.
I think that I've tried to keep the values using as simple types as
possible - flattening from any objects, with the exception for larger
numbers.
But if you want to store DateTime object and produce xs: type on output,
please take a look at
https://github.com/ajgb/moosex-types-xmlschema/pull/1#issuecomment-6559183
where I've suggested using storage attribute.
Cheers,
Alex
