    Perl Best Practices does not recommend Params::Validate

    Ah... argument from authority. Gotta love it. So pure, so simple.

    Good point, I'll delete it off CPAN right now.
      PBP does not recommend you should do that. Better leave it in place :)

        Taking PBP as an authority is not a best practice according to PBP. :-)

        Makeshifts last the longest.

    It doesn't _not_ recommend it either. It doesn't mention it - not something that can be extrapolated. In fact PBP says very little on the subject of parameter validation, only mentioning the idea in one section, Ch.9 "Argument lists". I was struck by this meager discussion of the subject. (Re-reading PBP again - on my list of yearly redos)
