The Params::Validate module provides a flexible system for validation method/function call parameters. The validation can be as simple as checking for the presence of required parameters or as complex as validating object classes (via isa) or capabilities (via can), checking parameter types, and using customized callbacks to ensure data integrity. The module has been designed to work equally well with positional or named parameters (via a hash or hash reference). INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install BUGS/ISSUES Trying to run the test suite with Perl 5.6.0 on my machine caused repeated core dumps, though 5.00405 and 5.00503 were both fine. In addition, 5.6.1-trial1 did not core dump so I can only presume that the problem is Perl's, not this module's. I do not know if the problem is caused by the test code or the module itself.
