Params::Check module - comments wanted

shemp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was just reviewing the Params::Check module at CPAN, and was looking to see what people think of it. I have up until now done only minimal (manual) checking of named params, but want to be a little stricter for certain libraries im writing.

So I found nothing on the super search here, and was just wondering what peoples experiences witht he module have been

Thanks much.

The default hammer for that nail is generally Params::Validate, from what I've seen. Just from looking at the POD, its template syntax also seems to be more expressive than that of Params::Check. As well, Params::Validate is older, but has had fewer releases and the last one is a while back, with no reported bugs (but a few open wishlist items); knowing its authors, I'd say that means it's stable rather than unmaintained. OTOH, Params::Check is maintained by the same guy who maintains CPANPLUS, so name alone is no indication here. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

There's also the fact that Params::Validate is used by Mason, and thus sees at least as many hours in use as Mason does.	[reply]
