I think you are missing his point. He wants to instantiate an object from the form, but if he uses his Moose object then the things he wants to validate (errors) will prevent him from getting an instance of his class. If "name" is required or isa 'Str' then if it gets an arrayref, he can't use the object (as either it missing or being the wrong type throws an exception). I don't know if this is a good idea yet, but it's fairly easy to create a "proxy" object for a given class, less all the validation: http://www.pastie.org/429140 YMMV, but it would do what you want, as you could "promote" it to a real value iteratively after validation... -- Cory 'G' Watson http://www.onemogin.com
