=head1 NAME

Attribute::Params::Validate - Validate method/function parameters using attributes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Attribute::Params::Validate qw(:all);

  # takes named params (hash or hashref)
  # foo is mandatory, bar is optional
  sub foo : Validate( foo => 1, bar => 0 )
  {
      ...
  }

  # takes positional params
  # first two are mandatory, third is optional
  sub bar : ValidatePos( 1, 1, 0 )
  {
      ...
  }

  # for some reason Perl insists that the entire attribute be on one line
  sub foo2 : Validate( foo => { type => ARRAYREF }, bar => { can => [ 'print', 'flush', 'frobnicate' ] }, baz => { type => SCALAR, callbacks => { 'numbers only' => sub { shift() =~ /^\d+$/ }, 'less than 90' => sub { shift() < 90 } } } )
  {
      ...
  }

  # note that this is marked as a method.  This is very important!
  sub baz : Validate( foo => { type => ARRAYREF }, bar => { isa => 'Frobnicator' } ) method
  {
      ...
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION


The Attribute::Params::Validate module allows you to validate method
or function call parameters just like Params::Validate does.  However,
this module allows you to specify your validation spec as an
attribute, rather than by calling the C<validate> routine.

Please see Params::Validate for more information on how you can
specify what validation is performed.

=head2 EXPORT

This module exports everthing that Params::Validate does except for
the C<validate> and C<validate_pos> subroutines.

=head2 ATTRIBUTES

=over 4

=item * Validate

This attribute corresponse to the C<validate> subroutine in
Params::Validate.

=item * ValidatePos

This attribute corresponse to the C<validate_pos> subroutine in
Params::Validate.

=back

=head2 OO

If you are using this module to mark B<methods> for validation, as
opposed to subroutines, it is crucial that you mark these methods with
the C<:method> attribute, as well as the C<Validate> or C<ValidatePos>
attribute.

If you do not do this, then the object or class used in the method
call will be passed to the validation routines, which is probably not
what you want.

=head2 CAVEATS

You B<must> put all the arguments to the C<Validate> or C<ValidatePos>
attribute on a single line, or Perl will complain.
