Hi PerlMonks,

I've been playing with Validation::Class and it looks really good. Centralized validation and everything. But, my question is how do I validate array ref, like this:

{ conds =>  { ids => [ 2342, 2311, 4567 ] } }

I tried like this:

field 'conds.ids' => {
  error    => { code => 'CONDS_IDS', details => 'Validation error on c
+onds.ids' },
  required => 1,
  validation => sub {
      my ( $self, $this_field, $all_params ) = @_;
      if (
        $this_field->{value}
        &&
        ( ref( $this_field->{value} ) eq 'ARRAY' )
        ) {
        return 1;
      }
      return 0;
    }
};

and the error was something like this:

Data validation field conds.ids:2 does not exist

Is this validation possible at all?

Thanks, Stepamil
