Params::Validate type validation doesn't complain on object being passed for an argument whose type is declared to be hashref.
I hope objects are treated differently from hashes for the very reason we have two different datatypes - HASHREF and OBJECT.

------ code snippet---------------
use Params::Validate qw(validate HASHREF);
use Data::Dumper;
sub invoke_me {
my %opts = validate(@_, {arg => {type => HASHREF}}); # This doesn't complain for objects
print Dumper \%opts;
}
my $obj = Data::Dumper->new([]);
invoke_me(arg => $obj);

The test used XS backend. But I see the same problem with PP variation too (by setting PV_TEST_PERL=1 in ENV)
